Confirmed with Link: Corey Perry on waivers for purpose of contract termination (mod warning: no direct speculation at this time)

[Idionym]

The Hawks don’t need to do anything for Bedard’s sake regarding the rumor. Assuming it isn’t true (which I 100% believe it’s not true), it’s probably super obvious to anyone close to the situation that it isn’t true (like she was literally not in town or something) and therefore Bedard isn’t like crying in the corner because some people on the internet are saying stuff that’s wrong. Professional athletes have to deal with people saying bad stuff about them all the time, I’m sure he has enough maturity and support around him to deal with stupid rumors from @xX_LargeHockeyLover69_Xx.

Ya know, if this rumor was about anyone EXCEPT bedard, I might think twice about its validity. But the fact that the rumor just happens to be about the one generational player that 31 other teams are jealous of makes it pretty pathetic.

While we all wait patiently to hear from the team as to what actually happened, might as well as a hockey related question to pass the time.

What does the teams cap look like after the Perry contract termination?

12.5mil in space currently, 50+mil in space at the deadline.

So this is how a Hall of Fame career comes to an end (probably) sad

The tear down tanking of a team is very easy!

Building a winning culture/team is far more difficult.

Depends if Perry's contract was terminated for cause. The Hawks already have plenty of cap space. I believe they have about $3.5mn more if it was for cause.

Regardless, the Hawks terminated Perry's association with the Hawks despite cap ramifications.

You don’t deny baseless rumors from internet randos. If anything, you tell journalists that they aren’t true anonymously and leave it at that. If the rumor was from a legit source then sure, take it seriously, but you can’t be playing whack-a-mole with every rumor some internet doofuses make up.

I agree with you in theory and maybe even in practice if this was 20 years ago, but nowadays with social media there's really no difference between "legitimate journalist" and "internet rando". The saying is very true that a rumor has made it's way half way around the world before the truth has even gotten out of bed.

And they don't need to deny every rumor, just this one since this one has a real possibility of affecting the 18 year old franchise player.

does this put Bedard on the 2015 Kane arc where he takes shit around the league for a false rumor/allegation and his production takes another jump

i feel like you're making more assumptions in this post than the people believing the rumor.

Very much this. Addressing the rumor in any way gives it undeserved oxygen.

anyone know how to watch the presser online?

going to be so many 'we're not going to comment on the specifics' from Davidson, but they should dispel the rumors about Bedard and his family immediately, not expecting it

This is just not true, and even if it was it would be in the Hawks best interest to only legitimize rumors coming from sources they have relationships with (ie media credentials) rather than give everyone equal weight.

The one assumption I’m making is that it’s incredibly obvious to people who would know (ie Bedard, teammates) that the rumor isn’t true.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Vehemently denies it involves any players' families. Says rumors are disgusting.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Pack it up, degenerates

 

[No Fun Shogun]

So no details other than a) not involving players or their families and b) not criminal?

Okaaaay?

It sounds to me like it's something Perry, himself, did.
