Renowned NHL expert Elliotte Friedman has revealed a significant and unexpected development in the Corey Perry case. He indicated that there might be an appeal regarding the Chicago Blackhawks' decision to terminate the 38-year-old forward's contract.

It's important to note that the NHL Players' Association had a 60-day window to contest the team's contract termination.
"I don't know what decision Corey Perry will make, but there is certainly a willingness within the union to contest even if Perry refuses. I don't know the exact details and have no intention of minimizing anything, but there are strong beliefs that the NHLPA cannot allow this precedent."

- Elliotte Friedman

Friedman emphasizes that the NHLPA takes this matter seriously, even if Corey Perry seems not to want to challenge the decision. The union aims to prevent this case from setting a precedent for other players it represents.
If the Association decides to appeal and wins, Corey Perry could see his $4 million contract honored.
Moreover, the NHLPA's decision to challenge indicates that there are valid reasons to contest the Blackhawks' termination of the contract. A successful appeal could also impact other teams' interest in signing the veteran player.
Thus, the saga involving Corey Perry is far from over.
