We just learned that the Blackhawks will need to pay a big part of Corey Perry's old contract with Chicago after they terminated him earlier in the season.
Blackhawks To Pay Off Corey Perry's Contract After Controversial Termination
We already knew that the Blackhawks owed around one million dollars to Perry for the games he played this season. However, according to a new report, the organization also got a severe penalty, where $3.01M of his salary will be charged.
Our understanding of Perry termination/grievance resolution is #Blackhawks were assessed $1.99M Cap Charge for period after termination.
On top of the $1.02M cap charge while with team, CHI total cap charge will be $3.01M of Perry's original $4M contract

This probably isn't how the Blackhawks thought things would turn out when the terminated Perry's contract. Considering that the Oilers signed him a few months later, do you think Chicago regrets parting ways with Perry?
