In the latest episode of his podcast 32 Thoughts, Friedman discussed the lack of full disclosure regarding Perry's incident. He suggested that if Perry had been with any team other than the Blackhawks when the incident occurred, the termination of his contract might not have happened.
This leads to the question of why the Blackhawks were quick to sever ties with Perry. Friedman didn't specify, but the Blackhawks have faced numerous challenges both on and off the ice in recent years.
