Moreover, the outcome of this affair, which led to the termination of his contract by the Chicago Blackhawks, sets a major precedent for future operations in the league.
If it was thought that this finalized the saga, that's no longer the case today. According to a report by journalist Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the National Hockey League Players' Association is currently taking a serious look at Perry's case.
Because of the collective bargaining agreement and the fact that the cancellation of the former Canadiens player's contract will cause him to lose several million dollars, in addition to tarnishing his image and setting a precedent for the league, an appeal to the Blackhawks organization's decision could occur within the next 60 days.
Let's just say things could get quite stirred up in the coming weeks, especially if Perry decides to fight back. It's also possible that all this could be influenced by whether he manages to secure a new contract for the end of the season or not.
