Seravalli was also able to confirm three major points that could effect Perry's future in the NHL.
1) Perry's alleged misconduct does not involve a criminal investigation
2) The NHL has been informed of the Blackhawks' investigation, but it was a "team incident and a team decision"
3) Perry was not suspended by the NHL and if he had been claimed off waivers on Wednesday, he would probably have been free to continue playing in the NHL
