Corey Perry's past is coming back to haunt him as new details emerge about the scandal involving him and Connor Bedard.
The Edmonton Oilers recently re-signed Corey Perry to a one-year contract after picking him up late last season when the Chicago Blackhawks cut him following a major scandal. Mark Lazerus of The Athletic has shed some light on the situation with recent developments.
"I've been asked "what really happened" by my poker buddies, my cardiologist and my own family. My response is always the same: We've reported what we can report. Do we know more than you do? Yes. But the bar to clear is very high when it comes to sensitive stories like this one. Until we have every detail of the story (not merely dribs and drabs), backed up and corroborated by sufficient sources, we won't report any of them. And we may never."
"A better question, one I really want to know: How much do the Edmonton Oilers know? Just scratching the surface here. I'll have Part 2 of the mailbag soon."

The Blackhawks decided to cut Perry from the team during the 2023-24 season after horrible rumors involving Connor Bedard's mother broke out. Specific details were never fully revealed, but an "alcohol-fueled" incident reportedly occurred after a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Even with the latest developments, the exact details of that day remain unknown, and many are now starting to blame the Oilers organization for potentially covering up the incident.
