The winger counts $4.5 million against the salary cap on his new $22.5 million deal signed Thursday. Saad won the Cup with Chicago in 2013 and 2015 and is heading to his fifth NHL organization. Perry signed a $2 million, two-year deal with Tampa Bay that counts $1 million against the salary cap annually. Saad and Perry each hoisted the Cup early on in their careers, and the chance to win again factored into their decisions this time around. Another Cup contender, the Colorado Avalanche, signed forward Darren Helm on a $1 million, one-year contract.
