Chicago Blackhawks GM Provides an Update on why Corey Perry was Released

It doesn't answer every question, but it certainly does shed some light on the situation. We also now know we can put one major rumour to rest.

After putting Corey Perry on waivers today for the purpose of terminating his contract, the rumour mill was hot with what Perry might have been done to get himself canned. Davidson addressed one major rumour right away.

"This does not involve any player or their families, and anyone that suggests otherwise is wildly inaccurate and it's frankly disgusting."

"Kyle Davidson saying Corey Perry's contract termination was about a 'team incident' and was a 'team decision.'

The most I can disclose is that we learned about it when [the Blackhawks] were in Columbus.

Wouldn't say if the matter involved a team/organization employee." - Kristen Shilton

"Over the last 24 hours, what's gone on has been very disturbing and I feel like I'm carrying that. It's really tough to see."

"We went through the process as quickly as we could in order to run a responsible investigation."
