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."
At the same time, Davidson said he couldn't get into specifics, but called what happened a "workplace matter."
"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
