As you may be aware, the Chicago Blackhawks terminated Corey Perry's contract after an incident at a team event involving alcohol.
This entire situation has dominated discussions among hockey fans for the past week, primarily due to how the organization handled the incident.
Initially, the Blackhawks announced their decision to scratch Perry. Perry's agent disclosed that it was Perry who opted to leave the team, leading to considerable speculation.
Later revelations unveiled Perry's unacceptable conduct at the team event, forcing the Blackhawks to terminate his contract.
It's crucial to note that the police were not involved, as nothing illegal occurred.
Now, Corey Perry finds himself in a position that could impact the Blackhawks significantly.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, this scenario is a plausible one.
The NHLPA has a 60-day window to file a grievance for wrongful contract termination, with Perry's agent stating they are currently reviewing the matter.
Given that Perry's actions were not illegal, there's potential grounds for filing a grievance.
Considering Perry was in the final year of his contract, and the Blackhawks have ample cap space, a settlement might be on the table if the NHLPA proceeds with the grievance.
This situation could be mutually beneficial. The organization's primary focus is establishing a team culture devoid of toxicity, and if that's the case, they might be open to a resolution.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of the NHLPA filing a grievance against the Blackhawks for Perry's contract termination?
