's past continues to shadow his career as new revelations emerge regarding a scandal involving him and Connor Bedard.
The Edmonton Oilers recently re-signed Perry to a one-year contract after he was picked up late in the previous season, following his release from the Chicago Blackhawks due to the scandal.
Mark Lazerus of The Athletic has shed some light on the situation, indicating that while more information is known privately, it hasn't been fully corroborated for public reporting. Lazerus mentioned:
"I've been asked "what really happened" by my poker buddies, my cardiologist and my own family. My response is always the same: We've reported what we can report. Do we know more than you do? Yes. But the bar to clear is very high when it comes to sensitive stories like this one. Until we have every detail of the story (not merely dribs and drabs), backed up and corroborated by sufficient sources, we won't report any of them. And we may never."
"A better question, one I really want to know: How much do the Edmonton Oilers know? Just scratching the surface here. I'll have Part 2 of the mailbag soon."
The Blackhawks cut ties with Perry during the 2023-24 season after rumors surfaced involving an alcohol-fueled incident with Connor Bedard's mother following a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite recent developments, the full details remain undisclosed, leading to criticism of the Oilers for potentially being part of a cover-up.
This ongoing situation raises questions about the transparency and ethical considerations within the NHL, especially concerning player conduct and organizational responsibilities.
