Just glancing at Capfriendly and going through the teams that might conceivably want him...

Panthers: Maybe not enough cap space to be the high bidder, but Maurice loves veteran assholes more than anything.
Leafs: No cap space
Lightning: Lots of LTIR space right now, so a possibility
Red Wings: Strong possibility. Lots of space, love veterans, no conscience
Senators: No cap space

Rangers: Have the cap space, but already doing great so I'd be surprised
Flyers: Limited cap space, not sure he's a Torts kind of guy
Hurricanes: Maybe the favorite IMO. They have the space, losing in the Cup Finals is The Dream for them, and they never met an rear end in a top hat they didn't like.
Islanders: Doubt it. They have LTIR space only
Capitals: No cap space
Penguins: No cap space

Jets: As always, he won't go to Winnipeg unless they're the only bidder
Avalanche: Maaaaaybe. They have some LTIR space so it's possible.
Stars: No cap space
Predators: Very possible
Coyotes: Might be interested, but see Jets
Blues: No cap space

Canucks: Signing Creepy Rory would be a spectacularly Canucks way to nuke their magical season, but no cap space, so they're safe.
Knights: No cap space (yet)
Kings: I'd be surprised if they were interested, and they only have some LTIR space to work with
Oilers: They'd go after him hard if they had the cap space... but they don't
Kraken: No cap space

Overall I'm pretty sure he's going to have multiple offers and will get well above league minimum.

Need a light?
The Rangers need a top-6 RW and a third line center. Perry is neither at this point. I have to think that Drury has been on the phone with Anaheim about Vatrano for at least the last month, but the price is too high right now given the season he's putting together.

Why would Perry get above league minimum? The only reason he got over a million was Chicago needed to get to the floor.

I doubt this is true, there probably was at least one other team willing to go to $900K or whatever.

Dude got kicked off his team and hasn't been over a million in a half decade. He'll be lucky to get much over league minimum.

People like Paul Maurice and Stevie Y and the people running the Hurricanes aren't gonna care that he got kicked off his team. But he sucks pretty bad now so you still may be right. Anytime there are multiple interested teams the price can easily go up higher than you expect, though.

Watching the Toronto/Minnesota PWHL game and why in the hell hasn't ESPN put Clay Matvick on NHL coverage? He's better than all their play-by-play guys (except when they bring Gord Miller in for the playoffs).

The Leafs could easily make cap space, they’re running a full roster plus replacements for Woll and Reaves who still count against the cap, send down Lagesson and McMann and they’re fine. I hope they don’t, because they don’t need Perry and gently caress that guy, but they could.

ASF is known locally to stir a lot of poo poo and it's about time he got hammered. The website he works for now, Crossing Broad, is kinda like a Philly-centric proto-Barstool

I'm sure it was cathartic for Torts. But, like, he's been doing this head coach thing for a long time now. Does he not understand that it was exactly what the "reporter" wanted?

Maybe, but I don't think that's the case here. I think ASF flew too close to the sun. He does a podcast with Chris Therien and they had members of the front office on it fairly recently, they're not an unknown quantity. But now they're at risk of blowing that up, not in a good way.

And ASF has been a Flyers beat reporter for like 20 years, he's not an unknown in the Flyers extended universe. But he's pivoted to the sensationist side in recent years

Right, exactly--if he did something you're upset about and don't want him to do again, you punish him by revoking access and just ignoring him. You privately communicate "we're not talking to you again until you admit in print that you were just making poo poo up."

But Torts going off on him, entertaining as it is for us all, was a reward. For ASF, attention = money. They gave him attention. Torts might as well have written out a check and handed it to him.

I mean, I feel like they had to say that Gauthier didn't want to play in Philly. Otherwise you have the fanbase going "what the gently caress?" Reporters poking around, making up poo poo (lol).

I kind of agree the Flyers had to respond to the Hayes stuff in some way. You can't let rumors like that fester, especially when by proxy it results in the hateful messages sent by some scumbags to Kevin about his brother. And I think was key for Torts to state that he and Hayes had their disagreements, but it was all business and nothing personal.

All of that can be done without giving the rear end in a top hat "reporter" extra personal attention though.
