Corey Perry initially served as a mentor for the young players in Chicago but left the team mysteriously last week, sparking some crazy rumors, including unfounded claims of an affair with Connor Bedard's mother. However, insider Elliotte Friedman now suggests that Perry's time in Chicago is likely over, and the team is considering either trading him or placing him on waivers.
Perry's four-million dollar deal with the Blackhawks this season makes a waiver claim less likely, unless a team is eyeing him for a subsequent trade. Potential destinations could include teams like San Jose or a sentimental reunion with the Anaheim Ducks.
