Contract Termination: [CHI] F Corey Perry contract terminated by the Blackhawks

[13pacheco31]

When they call a player back up and they go through re-entry waivers I believe is 50% or at least used to be.

They don't do that anymore. No such thing as re-entry waivers anymore either

I suppose Emily Kaplan is lying too.

I have no idea what you are referring to.

The NHL Standard Player Contract contains a list of things that the player promises to do, including:
(e) to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standards of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey generally.

There's still a huge burden of proof on the team to demonstrate that the proper response to the violation is termination instead of less severe discipline. A strict reading of that clause could make it pretty easy to terminate contracts.

During the intermission of the Canes-Flyers game Emily Kaplan said that from a source close to the situation the following occurred:
* Perry travelled with the team to Columbus
*There was an incident with a team employee
*Team employee immediately reported the incident
*Perry was immediately pulled from the expected lineup for the game (note in Columbus they played 11F-7D. The games before and after the standard 12-6)

The way this has been treated by the Hawks is pretty standard corporate America. Say the termination was a violation of policy with no detail and no identification of victim(s) if they exist. Heck it was the way the company I worked for dismissed an upper executive pegged to be the next CEO. He was terminated with cause effective immediately due to policy violation. That's it. That was the explanation internally and to Wall Street.

Given that this is going by the corporate HR playbook it is likely only a handful of things to lead to immediate termination - workplace violence, sexual harassment, under the influence at work (this doesn't seem to be the case) or moral/ethical violation that reflects poorly on the organization (this is normally something that is public. If it's not public it's not reflecting on the organization....we have no reports thus far of anything like this. Though police reports can be delayed for some time)

Basically what's in this story with Ryan Clark

Davidson said the team was first notified of the allegations last week when the Blackhawks were in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday to play the Blue Jackets. Sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan that Perry indeed traveled with the team to Columbus last Tuesday, a day before the game, and an incident occurred that day involving a team employee. Davidson said Perry, who did not play in the team's 7-3 loss, was "immediately pulled" from the game once the Blackhawks were notified, and at that point, the club began an investigation.

She hasn't said squat except it was an incident with an employee. Chelios's daughter? Is that true? Who knows?

 

[Otto]

But there was a CBA

Sure, but the post mentioned cap hit

The future is weird man, people think a meme is funny so it gets spread on social media and eventually makes its way to actual news and people think it's real. This isn't the first time I've seen this although I can't think of a specific instance right now.

 

[clydesdale line]

Isn’t she simply repeating what was leaked to her though?

Frank Seravalli also reported it with more info about Perry being drunk at a sponsored event.

(e) to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standards of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey generally.

A clause created by, and for, lawyers. To ensure that they will continue to make money until the sun stops shining.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I'm wondering if "said employee" worked for another team while Corey Perry played for said other team....

 

[VivaLasVegas]

A clause created by, and for, lawyers. To ensure that they will continue to make money until the sun stops shining.

Actually, just the opposite since if there were no such clause the Club would potentially have to litigate the termination which would profit whatever litigators were involved in the case. These sorts of "morality clauses" have been around a long, long time and are frequently found in entertainer contracts, just ask numerous former FoxNews hosts (and Roger Ailes). If an entertainer -- that's all a player is -- engages in questionable activity, good luck to them beating this clause. Very few even try.

If it were up to the litigators who might otherwise make money on these disputes, they'd ban these clauses.

Malort did all of this

If a player wishes to litigate it or file a grievance through the union absolutely. If is doing all the heavy lifting in that sentence though. If Perry wants to make this an issue it'll absolutely be an issue. If he doesn't he'll just take the 62% of his contract that's been paid out for 25% of the work and call it a career.

Malort like deep dish is something people from Chicago have for tourists nobody actually drinks that garbage.

Frank Seravalli also reported it with more info about Perry being drunk at a sponsored event.

The Seravalli timeline doesn't line up with what Kaplan reported. Kaplan is saying it was in Columbus and Seravalli is saying it was 4-5 days earlier. So one of these people is incorrect (or both only partially correct)...either the incident didn't occur in Nashville or the employee reporting it waited until Columbus to report it if we are to believe the full face value of the tellings.

I lean towards the Kaplan version because that aligns with the Hawks statement that Perry was immediately removed from the team. Perry played one of his highest time on ice games the game before columbus so hard to believe he was removed during that game. He didn't play at all in Columbus but for that one game the Hawks used 11F and 7D. It very much seems it came about in Columbus for sure. I don't see a reason why someone would give Kaplan what appears to be a correct timeline corroborated by lineup decisions and the Hawks but is wrong on when the actual incident occurred.

That could be the case. Or it could be the case that Perry was given a warning after a Nashville incident, was then under the influence again in Columbus and got into something with a team employee and both reporters are partially correct.

Has Perry spoken at all yet?

When does Ottawa find out how this affects their draft?

 

[Vancouver_2010]

Scoring 9 points in 16 games for a 38 years old is not bad, do you think he is open to come to the canucks for cheap?

Corey Perry has played a total of 35 career games against Ottawa, so I feel this should be an automatic loss of a first-round pick for the Sens.
