The situation surrounding former Montreal Canadiens forward Corey Perry is currently a hot topic in the NHL.
Despite being the fourth highest scorer on the team with 9 points in 16 games, the veteran was forced to leave the Chicago Blackhawks organization.
What's even more peculiar about this story is that Perry was practicing in his regular position on Wednesday, and then, overnight, the organization completely turned its back on him.
There's speculation about whether Perry might have violated a team rule or if he's involved in a controversy.
It's hard to ascertain the exact situation with the 38-year-old veteran, as the head coach has refused to provide further details.
In the last few hours, Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson confirmed that Perry will remain away from the team for the foreseeable future, stating it was a decision made by the team's management.
"Corey Perry will remain away from the Blackhawks 'for the foreseeable future', according to Kyle Davidson. It's a team decision, not Corey Perry's. No further details were given." - Ben Pope
This situation is certainly concerning at the moment!
Hopefully, the issue will be resolved quickly, and Corey Perry can return to play soon.
