The Chicago Blackhawks have initiated the termination of Corey Perry's contract due to 'unacceptable' behavior. The decision followed an internal investigation and was described as a 'workplace matter' by team management. Perry, a veteran forward, was pulled from the lineup after the team was notified of 'possible misconduct' involving him. The termination reportedly stemmed from an 'alcohol-fueled incident' and Perry has issued a statement apologizing for his behavior and acknowledging his struggles with alcohol, seeking help from mental health and substance abuse experts. The NHLPA is reviewing the matter, and there is a possibility of a grievance being filed. Perry's contract has cleared waivers and will be terminated, with the potential for a grievance from him or the NHLPA.

What a way for Corey Perry's NHL career to likely come to an end after 19 seasons. Whatever he did it must have been really bad for the Blackhawks to be able to terminate his contract. Yet another scandal for that organization and the NHL.
Once his contract is terminated tomorrow, Corey Perry's brief Blackhawks tenure will be over. But the same cannot be said about this saga's impact on a franchise still desperately seeking stability. "It’s been a tough couple of days." New column: https://t.co/AZ3Xmh6bqz

Kyle Davidson saying Corey Perry's contract termination was about a "team incident" and was a "team decision." "The most I can disclose is that we learned about it when [the Blackhawks] were in Columbus." Wouldn't say if the matter involved a team/organization employee
Kyle Davidson says #blackhawks management was notified of "possible misconduct" involving Corey Perry last week before he was pulled from the lineup. An investigation led to today's decision to terminate his contract. Davidson calls it a "workplace matter."

I'm not saying the salacious rumors surrounding the Perry situation is a good thing. They're not! Shitty situation! But it just shows why it's especially important for teams/NHL to be as transparent as possible to the fans. If you deprive people of info, this is what happens.
