Perry has been a winner at every level, including leading the London Knights to the Memorial Cup in 2004-05. Perry had 130 points (47 goals, 83 assists) in 60 regular season games for London, and followed that with 38 points (11 goals, 27 assists) in 18 playoff games.
Perry then went on to help the Ducks win the Stanley Cup in 2007 and followed that up with Olympic gold medals (with Canada) in 2010 and 2014, as well as a World Cup gold medal in 2016.
Perry has twice been named to the NHL's first All-Star Team and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 2011.
Perry finishes his time with the Ducks as the franchise's all-time leader in games played (988) and penalty minutes (1,110), as well as second place in goals (372) and third place in points (776) and assists (404).
"This is one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make in my 44 years in the NHL. Corey gave everything to this franchise for 14 years, never giving an inch to his competitors," Ducks GM Bob Murray said in a statement after announcing the buyout. "While his scoring touch is undeniable, his will to win became his greatest attribute."
