I wouldn't have thought there'd be any chance he'd play in Chicago.  I don't get this.  

TK, he will be UFA on Saturday, he doesn't have to sign with them but maybe they have talked.

Replacing Kirby Dach and DeBrincat is a standing order in The Smelly Swamp.

I'm guessing they have talked and expect him to sign, otherwise he'll give them a fat middle finger, which also wouldn't be surprising for the little diver. I just don't know why he would want to go to Chicago at this stage in his career, unless he's not thinking he can land anywhere else

Foligno was also UFA, but already signed with Chicago after the trade.

Everything I have seen today is Perry will sign with Chicago.

They can pay him now and flip him to a contender at the trade deadline, retaining salary to make it easy.
