The saga involving former Montreal Canadiens forward Corey Perry has been making headlines in recent weeks. However, now that this matter seems to be finally settled, the Chicago Blackhawks organization has announced his replacement.

Indeed, the veteran was a major piece in Luke Richardson's lineup, notably holding a very important role by wearing the "A" on his jersey. However, knowing that his affiliation with the team is a thing of the past, the Blackhawks have made a significant decision by naming Jason Dickinson as the assistant captain.
"« Jason Dickinson said it was a great honor to have been chosen to wear the letter tonight. He indicated that it wouldn't change his approach: he tries to be a leader, with or without the letter, and that a number of guys in the locker room could have worn it. » - Via Chris Vosters"

This means that Nick Foligno, Seth Jones, Connor Murphy, and now Jason Dickinson will act as assistant captains for the rest of the season.
28-year-old Jason Dickinson is a former first-round pick of the Dallas Stars (29th overall) in 2013. He is having an excellent season, on track to reach new personal bests, having scored nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 30 games so far.
It's interesting to note that the Blackhawks immediately offered Corey Perry's role to a new player, showing that they have clearly moved on from this story.
Speaking of number 94, let's remember that the excellent Elliotte Friedman seemed to mention that the action committed by the forward could be less serious than one might think, possibly leading the NHLPA to appeal to cancel the termination of his contract.
