The 2019-2020 St. Louis Blues roster figures to feature some of the same faces we saw win the Stanley Cup just one week ago and there does not seem to be much room for marquee additions barring a surprising trade.
However, news broke on Wednesday that the Anaheim Ducks have bought out the remainder of longtime leader Corey Perry. Perry had an $8.625 million cap hit before being bought out by the Ducks, but after an injury-plagued season a year ago, he figures to make much less in free agency.
This is not to say that Perry will not be a hot commodity, Pucks of A Feather site expert Ciara Durant documents the prestigious history of Perry during his time in Anaheim, and he will seek a salary that acknowledges his former glory.
