Blackhawk Down
You can't just terminate a contract. I'm assuming they're not buying Perry out.
Confirmed with Link: Corey Perry on waivers for purpose of contract termination (mod warning: no direct speculation at this time)

If Perry isn't fighting this there's a reason.

Milan Lucic says Maple Leafs, Blackhawks expressed interest in signing him
Milan Lucic said Tuesday that the rival Toronto Maple Leafs and the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks also expressed interest in the bruising depth winger when he hit free agency this summer. Luke Fox has more.

We're crapping on the Hawks PR strategy. Regardless of their response, it was inevitable due to the Beach fiasco. We're going to have to wear it for some time longer.
That said, the process to terminate Perry appears sound. The Hawks appeared to have followed NHL and CBA protocol. Furthermore, Perry did not have any public red flags in his NHL prior to joining the Hawks.
I'm okay if posters want to scrutinize the Hawks for the Beach fiasco. However, let's also note that the Hawks appears to have done the right thing with Perry.

Yeah and the reason would be that he would have to confront whatever it is the Blackhawks found out that lead them to terminating his contract. Right now he doesn't have to divulge anything and clearly the team isn't going to.

Bud I don't get what your issue is. You can only sign players based on the information you have. You can't predict the future and you can't ensure everyone conducts themselves in the way you want/hope.
Perry was a good signing at the time. Lucic, for similar reasons, would have been a good signing. If someone steps out of line, you deal with it and move on because that's all you can do.

My point is that you need cause and whatever Perry did is bad enough for him not to fight it.

Bingo.
My company hired a guy 5 or 6 years ago. Less than 2 months after being hired, he got hammered at a company Christmas party on a Friday night at Gibson's, and hit on 5 or 6 guys' wives...
He was fired Monday.

they just forced two legends out the door and then turned around and said they needed vet leadership and signed a guy they had to terminate before the new year...he did something that made davidson look like he was about to cry, its not a good look for davidson no matter how you put it
If you keep saying it, it might be true

They didn’t force two legends out the door, come on.
Yeah, unfortunately in a hyper reactionary world where people are chronically online it doesn’t look great for Davidson. That’s more an indictment on modern society rather than anything he has control over.

no contract negotiations with two players that expected to play here forever? what exactly is that..they didn't need to go the foligno (not bad), perry and potentially lucic route (luckily didn't sign)
One might never play again, and the other just had fairly serious hip surgery. I don't understand the issue people have with how the Hawks handled Toews/Kane.
I think the point of this press conference was to "protect" the Bedard family and that makes a lot of sense given that the franchise's future depends in large part on the kid.

Toews and Kane should have been allowed to retire Blackhawks if that's what they wanted. That's a very legitimate gripe fans have.
In saying that, the reason why Davidson walked away makes perfect sense. Toews and Kane are Chicago icons. If you want young players to be able to come into the room and feel like they can be leaders, it's a lot easier to do without a couple players who'll have statues outside of the UC before the decade is out.

He can fight it after it has went through, like Mike Richard's did. Doesn't have to be mutual leading up to the termination though.

Would this team be in a better place going forward signing Toews (who probably won’t play again) and Kane for an additional 3-4 years? I am not entirely convinced.
Both sides moved on. I guess if you believe Danny wanted them to be re-signed and ceded to Kyle and takes this as his GM going against his original correct wishes, maybe your take is realistic? Lots of speculation there though.

I'm taking the high road moving forward.
Started reading the first 2 pages of this thread before I bailed on this nonsense. I've learned that those I have on ignore have reinforced my decision and now need to add a couple of others.
I'm an attorney and Jimmy Murphy, who's not an attorney as far as I know, is just wrong. The presser could have been far more transparent without violating anyone's legal rights, including Perry's.
Nobody is saying he isn't fighting it. It's a waiting game. That's why, according to his agent, he's taking "time away". Lawyers for Hawks have prolly gone through the case and said this is the action to take here. Now the ball is in Perry's court and it's a wait-and-see game.
