As reported by TVA Sports, the former assistant captain owes a significant amount of money to the organization, potentially up to a million dollars to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Since Corey Perry only played 16 games before his contract was terminated, which is less than a quarter of the regular season, he should, in theory, be entitled to only one million dollars of his four-million-dollar contract.
However, the Blackhawks had already paid him two million dollars, including a signing bonus. This means that Perry might be obligated to repay about one million dollars soon.
Corey Perry will have 60 days to file a grievance with the National Hockey League Players' Association if he wishes to potentially keep this money. A spokesperson for the union indicated that the case is currently under review, and a final verdict will be known in the near future.
