Blackhawks Insider addresses Corey Perry's departure from the team
The Chicago Blackhawks moved on quickly from Corey Perry this past season, and now a top Blackhawks insider has addressed the situation again.
Last season was a whirlwind for Corey Perry, as the veteran started the year with the Chicago Blackhawks before having his contract terminated, only to end up with the eventual Western Conference Champions, playing in a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Now, a top Blackhawks insider has addressed the situation in a recent Q&A, suggesting that the Edmonton Oilers may not know the full extent of what happened.
«I've been asked «what really happened» by my poker buddies, my cardiologist and my own family. My response is always the same: We've reported what we can report. Do we know more than you do? Yes. But the bar to clear is very high when it comes to sensitive stories like this one. Until we have every detail of the story (not merely dribs and drabs), backed up and corroborated by sufficient sources, we won't report any of them. And we may never.
"A better question, one I really want to know: How much do the Edmonton Oilers know? Just scratching the surface here. I'll have Part 2 of the mailbag soon.»
The rumours involved Connor Bedard's mother for quite some time before that was officially expelled, and now, all we seem to know is that whatever story is out there doesn't tell us everything that happened. As Mark Lazarus of The Athletic notes, there's plenty that the public doesn't know, but until they know the entire story, they won't be revealing all of that.
The suggestion that the Oilers may not know the whole story is incredibly intriguing, especially after the signing of Stan Bowman as the GM, as it could be another PR nightmare for this team, but for now, all we know is that the story is likely to be worse in its entirety compared to what we currently know.
