The Corey Perry saga in Chicago has taken an unexpected turn, with indications pointing towards the former Hart Trophy winner hitting the waiver wire.
Waivers Likely for Future Hall-Of-Famer Corey Perry After Mysterious Departure From the Blackhawks
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.
Friedman stated, "He could either be traded or put on waivers," hinting at the uncertain future for Perry in Chicago.
Possible Destinations for Corey Perry If He Hits The Waiver Wire
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.
In any case, it appears that Corey Perry's chapter in Chicago is reaching its conclusion.
