ESPN leaks major info on what Corey Perry allegedly did to have his contract terminated
The Chicago Blackhawks have decided to end Corey Perry's contract due to rumors and his sudden absence. General Manager Kyle Davidson called the incident disturbing but didn't provide specifics.
ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported, "
A source told ESPN's @emilymkaplan that Corey Perry traveled with the #Blackhawks to Columbus last Tuesday, a day before the game, and an incident occurred that day involving a team employee.
"
Perry didn't play in Wednesday's game and was taken out of the lineup once the club knew about the incident. The Blackhawks are looking into it to understand what happened with Perry and a team employee.
Davidson said the team was first notified of the allegations last week when the Blackhawks were in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday to play the Blue Jackets. Sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan that Perry indeed traveled with the team to Columbus last Tuesday, a day before the game, and an incident occurred that day involving a team employee. Davidson said Perry, who did not play in the team's 7-3 loss, was "immediately pulled" from the game once the Blackhawks were notified, and at that point, the club began an investigation.
The details about Perry and a team employee have made things complicated. As the investigation goes on, the hockey community is waiting for more details, leaving Perry's future in the league up in the air.
