Blackhawks Insider questions Oilers knowledge of Corey Perry incident
The Corey Perry story has been a wild one over the past 18 months, and now one Insider has suggested that his current employer may not know the full story.
The 2023/24 NHL season was full of drama, and no one was involved quite as much as veteran Corey Perry, who went from having his contract terminated to playing in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Now, the 39-year old has inked a one-year extension in Edmonton to chase the Cup once more, but his past drama still looms over his head, with Mark Lazarus of The Athletic recently bringing that up in a recent article.
«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.»

While he didn't go into further detail, Lazarus did reveal that he knows more than the public, and finishes his statement on the situation by questioning the Oilers, and asking whether or not they truly know the whole story. Many of the rumours surrounding this situation have been dispelled in recent months, but there's still not a clear picture of exactly what happened, and by the sounds of it, if the full story ever did come out, it wouldn't look favourably upon Perry.
Ultimately, we may never know what transpired to get Perry's contract terminated in Chicago, but with the Oilers recently hiring Stan Bowman and his checkered past, it's safe to say that they may one day have plenty of questions to answer.
