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

[tantalum]

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?

In this day and age if another team were to sign him it will be on several conditions:
* it wasn't something to cause an organization to not touch him with a ten foot pole (i.e. if it's sexual harassment he is 100% done as a NHL player)
* he is public with what happened
* he has honestly apologized and made amends before signing any deal (and not the fake apology like that guy the Bruins signed)

Why do you need his vet leadership?

If we make the playoffs, we need players with stanley cup final experience.

Heck it was the way the company I worked for dismissed an upper executive pegged to be the next CEO.

The immature part of my brain, which takes up a great %, very much appreciates the pegging reference.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

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)

Great post. Adding to that, Blackhawks GM Davidson said it wasn't criminal and a workplace matter.

And here I was thinking that c suite executives were the untouchable be-all and end-all highest power of any corporation! Nope! It's Karen, from HR, who can fire literally anyone, up to CEO, with no explanation given to literally anyone at all, and therefore no required reason at all. What a case study in the poor eating the rich, eh?

Take this for what it's worth, but sounds like Perry got wasted at a team event with corporate sponsors present:

MAJOR: Frank Seravalli has just revealed the truth about what Corey Perry would have done as an inappropriate gesture

Part of the story sure. You don't get a contract terminated for that though.

So Seravelli removes the mud from the windshield by peeing on it. Still not very "clear".

 

[Eegs]

I still would like to know what happened

Me too, but we don't have to dream up new outlandish scenarios in the meantime.

 

[BCNate]

You do if you are so drunk you piss yourself or throw up everywhere, or try to fight sponsors, or make a scene with a microphone. You'd 100% get terminated for any of those.

If he did any of those, why he got his contract terminated wouldn't be a secret.

Like my dad used to say, If pegging doesn’t get a laugh then you’re not doing it right

Fighting with a sponsor I can see, as long as it is a very important sponsor. The other reasons you give is just not viable in a hockey organization. Regular offices, of course.

The other offenses you are saying would be a punishment of like going to AHL for a conditioning stint where you are there and play like one minute a game but still travel by bus. Or just a flat out suspension for a few weeks.

Honestly, if this is just because he got drunk and made stupid comments, he'll be on another team this year before the deadline. Sexual harassment still doesn't seem like it would be enough...i mean slava voynov beat his wife and still played a few games after before doing it again and finally being shipped out.

Found this on FB

 

[Jared Dunn]

It is nearly verbatim what the GM said.

Yes, after a week of letting the rumours go nuts

 

[iCanada]

You can, I believe some contracts have morality clauses. I’ve never seen a standard contract but what from some of the insiders are saying. Those are a thing. Probably something new from the newest CBA.

There has always been a morality clause in the NHL standard player contract. Atleast since 2006, but I'd imagine it's always been there.

 

[General Fanager]

Its cute The Hawks all of a sudden have standards....

If you fight with a sponsor in front of a bunch of other sponsors, while being drunk and loud, what you did isn't going to be a secret.

Having to read these two posts within a scroll of each other on the same page is a micronism of why I hate HFBoards sometimes and why I typically value the overall opinion of this board so little.

Its the internet and people have widely varying opinions.

correct.

I'm confused at what this is in referring to in my post that you quoted.

Well what he did IS a secret. So its not a possibility for what happened.

GOTCHA

ok lmao.

The “Hawks” are just a company/organization that employs human beings like everyone else. Those human beings that were there in the past were the ones without standards. The ones that deserve the criticism. Names like John McDonough, Stan Bowman, coach Q, Rocky Wirtz(former owner now passed away).

When are people going to start directing the hate towards those who deserve it? Instead of blaming the city of Chicago or the actual indianhead logo itself?

Bottom line is the Hawks cleaned house and hired new people. Those people aren’t going to make the same awful mistakes, you would hope, moving forward. The way they’ve handled the Perry situation shows already how serious they are.
