Corey Perry Officially Millions in Debt to the Blackhawks After Contract Termination
The recent termination of Corey Perry's contract with the Chicago Blackhawks has led to a complex financial situation, as reported by TSN's Chris Johnston.
Corey Perry Faces Financial Obligations to the Blackhawks
The unfolding scenario around Corey Perry's departure from the Blackhawks has taken a new turn. According to Johnston, Perry's contract termination could result in him owing over $1 million back to the team.
"Perry has 60 days to decide if he wants to file a grievance via the NHL Players' Association. The matter remains under review, according to a union spokesman. Should he elect to go that route, it would be an exercise in preserving his earning power."
"Perry is entitled to keep approximately $1 million of his $4 million salary after spending roughly 25 percent of the season on the Blackhawks roster prior to having his contract terminated, which means he technically owes money back to the organization because he received a $2 million signing bonus over the summer."
