Nicolas Deslauriers and Corey Perry could make a comeback with the Canadiens next season?

Since the arrival of Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton at the helm of the team, the organization has turned into a youth movement to rebuild its roster.

However, it is crucial that the team's young players are surrounded by good veterans in order to continue their development appropriately.

During last Monday's "La Poche Bleue le midi" broadcast, Maxim Lapierre highlighted the importance of the Canadiens acquiring an experienced player to guide the many rookies within the Montreal lineup. He notably mentioned the name of a former player greatly appreciated by Canadiens fans to fill this role.




The former Canadiens forward also mentioned that Corey Perry should be a priority on Kent Hughes' list when the free agent market opens.


Corey Perry has mentioned many times that he loved his time with the Canadiens. He even confessed to Renaud Lavoie that he closely follows the performances of his former teammates. Certainly, he would be an excellent mentor for players like Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Kirby Dach.

Should Kent Hughes offer him a one-season contract this summer?
