During a recent press conference following the NHL governors' meeting, Gary Bettman, the NHL Commissioner, shared several important pieces of information. One of the key topics addressed was the controversy involving former Montreal Canadiens forward Corey Perry.
However, when questioned about the likelihood of Corey Perry returning to the NHL this season, Bettman appeared more hesitant. He mentioned that he had not yet discussed with his deputy, Bill Daly, whether the veteran would need to have a hearing with NHL executives to officially rejoin a team in the league.
Regardless, Corey Perry's return to play is far from confirmed, as he is likely not focused on finding a new team at the moment. Nevertheless, Bettman's statement implies that the league will not conduct any additional investigations into the former Blackhawks assistant captain's actions.
