Corey Perry Required to Pay Chicago Blackhawks Millions Following Contract Termination

"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."

You have to think, Perry did something bad enough that the team is willing to terminate his contract

The NHLPA hasn't even made a statement saying they have a grievance toward it

How bad is the Perry action that the union isn't stepping in?

Corey Perry has cleared waivers and his contract, if not already, will be terminated shortly by the Blackhawks.

The next question: Will Perry and/or the NHLPA file a grievance? They have 60 days to do so. Per an NHLPA spokesperson, they are currently "reviewing the matter."
