Corey Perry situation - UPDATE: cleared waivers; contract terminated

[Godin]

“Outright lies with zero proof that the gullibles soak up”

What an ironic comment… probably my favorite contribution to this thread thus far

Right we all have our opinions and yours in this thread happen to be misogynistic.

Again, there is zero evidence from either side of this argument. Some believe one thing, others believe another, and without confirmation from the parties involved, we're all speculating on lies? There is no reason to insult someone just because their opinion is different from yours, because you could turn out to be the fool. And that happens quite often on here.

A source told ESPN's Emily Kaplan that Perry indeed traveled with the team to Columbus last Tuesday, a day before the game, and an incident occurred that day involving a team employee."

A bad batch of nose candy was probably involved. If we're spreading rumours...

At least this should put an end to the rumor...

You would think if it was a legal thing outside the organization (drunk in public, assault, anything like that), the news would have broken by now. It's clearly he did something that hurt relations with the team and/or teammates. Especially that he walked from the hotel to the arena in his last game (he was scratched that game actually) instead of taking the team bus to the arena.

Performing an action with an employee that's not a player would also get you waived (like hitting/pushing an equipment manager or something).

You'd think it would come out what happened. Especially cause he was playing decently well, well enough to be an asset to a team. So teams will try and do some research on what happened, and I'm sure it'll leak.

What a guess.

Does he get another contract this year?

I think he does IF this stuff actually happens often behind the scenes and Perry makes some public comment on the situation and steps up to it.

If it doesn't happen often, I dunno. Oilers might, they took the shot at E.Kane and with his stuff, Perry is nothing. If E.Kane can get a contract, I think Perry can (depending on the severity of what happened obviously)

I'm sure there's still a cult of idiots that still think momgate happened and this is just a cover-up. They'll point to Chicago's dubious history and say this is par for the course.

I doubt he gets a contract. We don't know what Perry did, but I doubt he plays again. Even if what he did is something certain teams can overlook, they won't want to sign him too soon due to the public distraction it would cause. They'd want to wait until the media storm dies down and given his age, by the time the media has moved on, he will be too old for most teams to consider.

I guess it depends what he did to the employee. I am assuming it was just a verbal altercation. If it's anything that crosses over to legal, I would think he would have a hard time finding a roster spot elsewhere.

It could be something legal, but inappropriate. AKA, relations with an employee. He's married and he apparently stepped away from the organization too.

If it's something along the lines of adultery, teams might want him, but he might prioritize trying to keep his family together.

I know there's still one person for sure that still believes it......

The fun part is you keep saying this and yet it doesn't change my point, and you don't even understand why your posts are misogynistic. Make no mistake however, they absolutely are. Yay!

As previously discussed with LawMan, it is nearly impossible for a team to have terminated Perry's contract if he had consensual relations with a team employee. It would have had to be a situation where Perry had a direct power imbalance over said employee and AFAIK that type of situation doesn't really exist in an organization, from a player's perspective. Now if it was non-consensual that's obviously different.

Allow me to introduce you to multi-quote. Not as satisfying for your ego nor does it boost your post count, but it is much more efficient and makes threads full of pedantry and non-sequiturs much easier to read.
