Blackhawks Corey Perry's fate to be decided within the month
Corey Perry's time is ticking and he will be forced to decide alongside the NHLPA on whether or not he will file a grievance for wrongful termination.
Former Chicago Blackhawk Corey Perry Will Be Forced To Make A Decision This Month
As the new year turned, the clock on Corey Perry's decision on whether to file a grievance with the NHLPA inched closer. Perry now has less than a month to decide if he wants to file a grievance to get some money back from the Blackhawks.
January 28th: Last day for the NHLPA to file a grievance
March 8th: Must sign a contract by the trade deadline if he wants to compete in the playoffs
Even if Perry decides not to file a grievance, he would still have just over a month to sign a new contract with a different team with hopes of winning another Stanley Cup.
The Latest On Former Hart Trophy Winner Corey Perry And The NHLPA
Nick Kypreos provided the latest update on Corey Perry as he revealed that Perry and the NHLPA currently are undecided on whether or not to file a grievance.
Kypreos also added that there are teams that are considering adding Perry despite his termination. Perry would certainly bring a veteran presence that any contending team could utilize.
Elliotte Friedman last commented on the situation stating that the NHLPA is pushing for a grievance while Perry remains undecided.
He remains in the NHLPA Player Assistance Program and will require clearance from Gary Bettman if he wants to return to play but has yet to receive clearance.
We will now wait patiently to see what happens with Perry next and whether or not he will play again this season or ever.
