But Perry could have stayed with the Montreal Canadiens, and only left because of a contract dispute about a second year added to his deal.
Martin Leclerc while on the TEllement Hockey Podcast, made a shocking statement about former Montreal Canadien, Corey Perry. Apparently, the Montreal Canadiens had a plan to make Perry the next team captain.

Perry is a veteran of 1176 regular season games, he is a former 50 goal scorer, has an Olympic Gold Medal playing for team Canada and is a Stanley Cup Champion. He plays the game hard, scores goals and leads by example. Perry would have been the perfect transition captain for the Habs, but because Bergevin refused that second year, we saw what the Habs looked like this year, a leaderless team.
Poor move Bergevin.
