NextImg:Blackhawks terminating Corey Perry’s contract over ‘unacceptable’ behavior

Corey Perry’s brief stint with the Blackhawks is coming to an end.

In recent days, the veteran winger’s status with the club has been shrouded in mystery.

On Tuesday, the team announced it is placing Perry on waivers for the purposes of terminating his contract.

“After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation of both the terms of his Standard Player’s Contract and the Blackhawks’ internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments,” the team said in a release. “As such, Corey Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers. In the event Mr. Perry clears waivers, we intend to terminate his contract effective immediately.”

Chicago’s statement only added more questions to the situation, which has been plagued by numerous questions and salacious rumors.

Perry has not been in the lineup since Nov. 19 due to an “organizational decision.”

On Saturday, GM Kyle Davidson said the 38-year-old would be away for the “foreseeable future” at the team’s decision.

Perry’s agent, Pat Morris, released a statement of his own that same day, claiming Perry had stepped away from the Blackhawks to “attend personal matter.”

The lack of transparency around Perry’s situation has been startling for some as the franchise attempts to move forward from the Kyle Beach abuse scandal.

A two-time All-Star, former MVP and Stanley Cup winner, Perry was brought to Chicago via trade with the Lightning, and promptly signed a one-year, $4 million deal.

In 16 games, he posted four goals and nine points in 2023-24, bringing his career totals to 421 goals and 892 points in 1,273 games between Anaheim, Dallas, Montreal, Tampa Bay and Chicago.

The Blackhawks, who already lost forward Taylor Hall for the season to injury, will now move on without Perry, as well.
