Indeed, two contending teams appear locked in to bring in Perry. The first, the Toronto Maple Leafs, brought in
Ryan Reaves in hopes to toughen up their lineup. Unfortunately, the Reaves experiment already appears to be a massive failure, with his on-ice performances being inherently negative, and him not living up to expectations. Bringing in Perry would shore up their bottom-six, and give them an enforcer who is just as talented as he is gritty.
