Foligno and Jones Reflect on Perry's Departure from the Blackhawks

Nick Foligno, an esteemed veteran within the Blackhawks' locker room, shared his thoughts on the matter:
"It's stunning, to be honest with you. We all care about Corey. But we understand that there's a standard we're going to be held to. So it's a really hard day for all of us and it's hard when you don't have all the details to comment fully. But you care about the person and we care about this organization, and they're going to do what's best for all of us and we have to know that and understand there's a standard we have to get to."

Seth Jones also weighed in:
"We don't have any details of what happened, but I know the organization wants to keep a level of conduct here, and make it a place where we hold each other to a standard. I guess that was broken."
