Frank Seravalli Reveals What Led To Corey Perry's Contract Termination
Frank Seravalli dove into the Corey Perry scandal, revealing that the incident occurred during a road trip with team sponsors and staff, with Perry reportedly under the influence. The piece sheds light on various aspects surrounding the controversy.
"According to sources, an alcohol-related incident involving Perry is said to have occurred during an event attended by business partners and team employees. It is still not clear exactly what happened, who witnessed it, and who reported it to the team."

Seravalli was also able to confirm three major points that could effect Perry's future in the NHL.
1) Perry's alleged misconduct does not involve a criminal investigation
2) The NHL has been informed of the Blackhawks' investigation, but it was a "team incident and a team decision"
3) Perry was not suspended by the NHL and if he had been claimed off waivers on Wednesday, he would probably have been free to continue playing in the NHL
The disclosed details suggest that while Corey Perry's actions were deemed unacceptable by the Blackhawks, they may not warrant official punishment. As more information surfaces, another team might consider taking a chance on signing Perry who is now a free agent. Perry's future in the league remains uncertain.
