NHL and NHLPA Settle Perry's Situation

In a surprise move, the NHL and NHL Players Association have resolved Corey Perry's situation with the Chicago Blackhawks. The undisclosed settlement comes after weeks of speculation, with Perry being placed on unconditional waivers on Wednesday.

Perry's Contract Terminated

As part of the settlement, Perry's contract has been officially terminated by the Blackhawks. This allows the forward to become an unrestricted free agent and explore his options in the NHL.

Perry Releases Statement

In a statement released on Thursday, Perry expressed gratitude for his time in Chicago. "I want to thank the Blackhawks organization and the fans for their support during my time here," Perry said. "I wish the team all the best in the future."

Blackhawks Acquire Draft Picks

As compensation for terminating Perry's contract, the Blackhawks have acquired several draft picks in the 2024 NHL Draft. The exact number and rounds of the picks have not been disclosed.

The Blackhawks had previously announced their decision to place Perry on waivers after he was benched for disciplinary reasons. The veteran forward had struggled for consistency this season, with only 12 goals and 15 assists in 55 games.
