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

[Bear of Bad News]

I wasn't the one that brought it up. I was just responding to the person that initially stated it to me.

It was brought up to you because your popcorn story (1) is full of shit, and (2) is full of shit.

I’m glad you came to this conclusion based on your own made up version of what you think happened. Also appreciate you providing your opinion on unions. I’m glad you have decided to bring your comments to this thread. They were well thought out.

I was giving wild examples. That's not realistic. However, taking the zamboni on a joy ride...that is believable...but doubt he did that as well.

Whatever it is, it's a sensitive topic. Maybe it wasn't burnt popcorn, but I could see a rookie dinner gone wrong. Perry decides to spice up the party. and does something he should not have and to let it out would cause more harm. IF this was another Kyle Beech incident, it would be out in the open.

You're missing the point, even if it was a wild party incident, he could have stripped naked in front of the most important people in the organization. This would have been shared with the public from day one on why they're terminating the contract. But they didn't share much because this involves other people, and the identities of these people is being protected.

I don't think he did that either. It was just an example of stupid little things that can cause you to be let go.

Yeah, I'm just saying to terminate the contract months after overpaying to bring him in, it had to be something pretty serious.

Man you sure live in your own little world

if it turns out to be harassment, it makes sense the Hawks would have a zero tolerance policy given their history...

Toronto overpaid for Klingberg and would've loved to terminate that contract before he went to LTIR. So not a good point.

Remember the scene in "For Your Eyes Only" when three guys gang up on James Bond and try to run him over with a Zamboni?

What if Corey Perry did that? I personally wouldn't find that too bad.

Its fairly simple to take the information available that has been reported by reliable outlets and determine a simplified version of what happened. There are only so many outcomes that lead to this level of privacy being accomplished.

Is harassment considered criminal? Suppose it never got far enough for it to be criminal, don't you think the organization would have at least said to the public that they're letting him go for harassment reasons? This is especially the case given their whole history and them taking ownership.

Is Corey Perry better than Christian Fischer?

 

[TLEH]

The question I have is, is the event that happened enough from prevent Corey Perry from playing again this year?

I don't doubt the Blackhawks are currently running an extremely tight ship due to their past f*** ups. I also know that Corey Perry has been in the league for 19 seasons and had little to no incidents before this. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign another deal this year.

It could be considered criminal depending on what happened. Hard to speculate without knowing the details. I can't say I'm surprised they are giving as little info as possible.

Edit: lol bad timing, the post below gives more insight into what happened.

Was perry hugely disappointing performance wise?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I hope he gets the help that he needs - I do a lot of mental health/substance abuse work in my "real job", and it's a hell of a beast.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Anyway, looks like a substance issue, just like Jim Montgomery

Get well dude.

I still want to see your number up on the rafters at Honda center.

Obviously not, but my point is that even if you wanted to, it's pretty damn hard to terminate an NHL contract (unless it's by mutual agreement). These guys have pretty good work security, even in a buyout they get some of the money.

Must have been that burnt popcorn.

Yeah we agree it's weird it seemed like you were disagreeing with me

 

[Gregor Samsa]

If it wasn’t something embarrassing or sensitive we’d know what it was by now

 

[TooManyHumans]

So what did he do? Seems like simply saying it might make some of the rumors die down. Unless whatever it is is worse than the rumors, they should just say wtf happened.

I don't know if you remember Jim Montgomerys firing but that wasn't nailed down to one specific instance either.


Basically substance abuse affected their profession to the point they weren't able to fulfill their contractual roles
