Obviously no proof but this is my headcanon that will eventually lead to Bedard holding out for us! Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson held a media conference this afternoon, where he appeared to shoot down the social media-fuelled rumour. Davidson said that he wasn’t able to disclose any details because it’s an “individual personnel matter,” but he made sure to make one clarification during his opening remarks. “I do want to be very clear on this one point,” Davidson said. “This does not involve any players or their families. And anyone that suggests otherwise is wildly inaccurate, and frankly, it’s disgusting.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I apologize to everyone who suggested this was about the Canucks. I thought you guys were dumb. Somehow in the end we became the benefactors of this rumour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell.the.team Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Whether its true or not Davidson had to deny it. What exactly does he have to lose by lying? Hes not under oath and I doubt any of the parties care about the denial if it was true. Davidson confirmed it was not a police matter and the fact that they are unwilling to divulge or hint at what it could possibly says a lot to me.

ronning4center Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, Provost said: I haven’t seen the presser? Just read an article that summarized it. They denied it had anything to do with other players or their families… so who knows. They are allowed to lie. Reading a little between the lines, they didn’t say it didn’t involve other team staff or employees, and mentioned professional and safe workplace. That was a little specific verbiage. Sometimes how they don’t say things gives a really good clue. It could have to do with harassment or assault of another employee. Arson, something serious enough to try to terminate a guaranteed contract. The look on the guys face who conducted the presser was pretty somber. He almost broke out in tears. Highly doubt it's Corey hooking up with a team mates mom which though kinda shitty of him not worth "very disturbing" comments. I'm thinking this was something more.

I connected that “very disturbing” comment to be referring to the rumours rather than the Perry incident itself. It does have to be something fairly significant though to terminate his contract.

hockeyville88 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Kyle Davidson sounded very emotional when speaking about this. Whatever the transgression is, it sounds serious. Very sad if this is how Corey Perry's illustrious career comes to an end. I hope that if he has hurt others in any way, they get the support they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) If Perry clears waivers and has his contract terminated, wouldn’t this be similar to Evander Kane where he can file a grievance along with the NHLPA with an arbitrator? If so, doesn’t the reason for the termination need to come out as that is what the arbitrator is going to base his decision on?

He seemed to take it personally because he feels responsible for this whole thing going sideways. Thats my take anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstorm Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The BH’s are going to do and say whatever it takes to bury this asap. They are currently under no obligation to reveal anything to anyone and well within their rights to explain it away any way they choose. This franchise is not in a position to weather yet another horrendous scandal. They’re desperate as can be right now. If this explodes in their face they are hooped. The whole organization could be fragmented and brought to its knees. Bedards 2 month NHL career has already been marred and interfered with by this scandal and things are going to get worse before they get better. They have created a terrible mess for themselves, the players, the league and the fans league wide. It’s a disgrace and everyone knows it. They will say anything to cover this up. It’s do or die at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson JH Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 10 hours ago, Saved_by_Jesus said: I mean, I find this rumour really hard to believe, but... On the other hand if I were in the Blackhawks front office, and the rumour was true, I would be keeping this a secretive as possible (as they are) despite the promise to be more transparent after the Beach incident. I mean, they absolutely could not disclose such a thing given the obvious privacy and emotional concerns for Bedard. Also, if it did happen, I would probably release a statement that says something like: "Perry engaged in unacceptable behaviour, that violated policies relating to professional and safe work environments" (i.e. having relations with other player's family members). Which is exactly what was said in the Blackhawk's statement. Frack the Blackhawks, the secrets need to be out. They deserved it, especially the whole Beach incident and getting the Bedard sweepstakes with no penalty… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their GM said the police aren’t involved and it is an internal matter. No other players or their families are supposedly involved. So what is it? We are talking about $4 million dollars here. Perry might not get signed by anyone else. He should definitely file a grievance. Worst case is he loses and doesn’t get his money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane had the rest of his career at stake and made a good gamble. Perry has the rest of his life at stake. If he's to have any hope of having a career in hockey (in whatever capacity, broadcast or coaching), he should bury this as quickly and as deep as possible. All speculation. I wonder how long he has to file a grievance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Bedard’s mother… An unverified Bob Beers account with 180 followers does not sound like a credible source. Can we please just wait until there's info from an actual credible source before we run down this rabbit hole again? (Also, while not impossible this rumor is true, Chelios' daughter is married to a former NFLer. I don't think that's someone Corey Perry would want to risk messing with.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
