Indeed, following an event involving alcohol and an organization employee, the Chicago Blackhawks suddenly terminated the veteran's contract. It's worth remembering that this situation also led to much speculation regarding the real reason behind his dismissal.
However, according to what was circulating behind the scenes, number 94 had filed a complaint last month for wrongful termination. Yet, this famous grievance was never actually filed, as the NHL, the NHL Players' Association, the Blackhawks, and Corey Perry's camp ultimately reached a financial settlement in the last hours.
Moreover, according to information reported by Elliotte Friedman, a very important element was also added to the agreement. Indeed, the incident in question cannot be used as a precedent in conversations leading to a possible contract termination in the future.
Since his arrival with the Edmonton Oilers, Corey Perry has scored two goals and provided five assists in 20 games, bringing his total to 16 points in 36 matches so far this season.
