Paul Bissonnette, studio analyst for NHL on TNT, has given his take on Edmonton Oilers' rumored signing Corey Perry's potential impact on their postseason aspirations.
Bissonnette took to Twitter, expressing his excitement with a tweet that read:
"Corey Perry is back. Oilers are hot to trot. Lucky 13 unlocks the Worm. They may never lose again."
This enthusiastic statement reflects the current atmosphere surrounding the Oilers. They are riding an impressive thirteen-game winning streak and are establishing themselves as one of the hottest teams in hockey.
Perry's journey to Edmonton came after his Chicago Blackhawks contract ended due to "unacceptable conduct." The 38-year-old forward has previously spoken about dealing with mental health and alcohol issues with the help of behavior specialists.
With the Oilers working their way around cap limits, Perry's possible position on the team draws curiosity. Cracking the top-six forwards might be tough due to the team’s solid game. However, Paul Bissonnette hinted that Perry could stand out significantly in a net-front power play position, especially with a robust beginning in Alberta.
With the official announcement of Perry's signing is expected later today, fans eagerly await the unfolding of this new chapter for the Oilers.

Bissonnette remarked, highlighting the severity of the situation, especially given Bedard's young age and the pressure associated with being a rising hockey sensation.
Paul Bissonnette acknowledged the prevalence of online negativity but stressed that the behavior surrounding Bedard's personal life went beyond acceptable discourse. He expressed disgust at those who contributed to the unnecessary controversy, adding that true hockey fans wouldn't engage in such disrespectful behavior.
"Now, most of you would be like, well, what do you expect from these fking idiots on there all the time just trying to stir it up. And I was fking disgusted by what happened," he declared,
