Blackhawks suddenly release Corey Perry from contract: Everything we know so far

In the days following Perry’s removal from the team, Blackhawks players and coaches were questioned about the incident.

“I’m not going to speak on it too much,” Connor Bedard said, via NBC Sports Chicago. “Obviously it sucks he’s not here, but we don’t really have too much information on it or anything yet, but of course he’s a big part of the team and it sucks he can’t be here today.”

“We just know he’s not with us,” Nick Foligno said. “We haven’t really gotten any details. It’s unfortunate. He’s a big part of this, so we’ll miss him, but we haven’t really gotten any other information.”

Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson also spoke on the matter, via USA Today.

“We’re taking it just like any other roster move, whether it be injury or trade or whatever. That’s the coach’s duty is to make adjustments on the fly.”
