We have just learned the truth about the Corey Perry case, regarding the action he took that led to the termination of his contract by the Chicago Blackhawks.

«It seems that all the details have finally been revealed. A former NHL player and NBC Sports Chicago broadcaster revealed what he knows about the reasons why Corey Perry's contract was terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks.»

If we recall the reasons for the cancellation of the contract of the 38-year-old veteran, the organization mentioned «inappropriate and unprofessional conduct by Perry» during an evening with employees of the organization.

«Former NHL player John Scott, who started with NBC Sports Chicago in September of last year, stated on his podcast Dropping the Gloves that Perry had made advances towards a staff member of the Blackhawks who also worked for NBC Chicago Sports.»

The situation mentioned by Scott therefore makes complete sense with what had been declared by the Hawks at the time of the announcement of Perry's contract termination.

«Corey Perry has been a model citizen in the NHL for about 18 years. He made a mistake in Columbus one night, he drank too much and he made advances towards a staff member who worked at NBC.»

As Elliotte Friedman had previously testified, the act of the former Canadiens player was not unforgivable. He also mentioned that the outcome could have been very different with any other team in the league.

«If it's another team, he's still on the team, still with them. And he might have just had a little slap on the wrist, and maybe a minor fine or suspension.»

Because of the major scandals in recent years in Chicago, the organization wanted to be extra cautious in this matter, wishing to avoid at all costs another potential significant lapse.

We finally have the last word in this saga that hit the media like a tidal wave for several days. We still wish Perry the best of luck with the Edmonton Oilers now.
