Another star hockey player at the end of his career found himself in a scandalous story. This time, Corey Perry, a true superstar and honored veteran of the NHL and all of hockey, became pregnant. “Toppled” – and how!

“It seems like he won’t be back.” What is known about Perry’s mysterious disappearance from Chicago?
First on social networks, and then in the media, information appeared that the 38-year-old forward from Chicago was suspended from the team because… he had a sexual relationship with the mother of Connor Bedard himself! What happened there and what awaits Corey?
Is Perry’s affair with Bedard’s mother true or false?
“We know there are many unwritten rules in hockey and Corey Perry may have committed the most serious violation of all. The Blackhawks thought they had the best veteran to show Connor Bedard the ropes, but he may have taken the “dad” role too far. It started as a rumor, but now several insiders have started talking about this topic.
The reason for Chicago’s decision may be accusations of an extramarital affair between Connor Bedard’s mother and Corey Perry. According to the theory, this could have occurred during a promotion when the players’ mothers traveled with the team to games. On some level, the details of this story match up. If the allegations are true, it’s safe to assume Perry won’t be returning to Chicago anytime soon,” Canucks Daily wrote.
Of course, these were not the media that became the primary source; At some point, that rumor began to actively spread on social media. The media picked it up. And it was not clear who was the first to make this crazy assumption.

It is true that journalist Charlie Roumeliotis, who specializes in covering life around the Blackhawks, quickly denied it: “The rumors currently circulating about Corey Perry are 100% false.”
Even Bedard himself spoke about Corey’s mysterious dismissal quite sympathetically: “I won’t talk about it too much. Of course it’s a shame he’s not with us, but we still don’t have much information about that or anything else. But of course he is an important part of the team and it is a shame that he cannot be with us today.”
This whole strange situation is aggravated by Chicago’s difficult situation (penultimate place in the NHL standings) and Perry’s overall good performance. 4+5 in 16 games from a 38-year-old player, who took on leadership roles only in terms of mentality and not statistics, is a pretty good performance…
…which will not have a sequel. Yesterday, November 28, the Blackhawks placed Perry on waivers in order to buy out his contract. Immediate termination. His days in Chicago were over.
“Following an internal investigation, the club has determined that Corey Perry engaged in unacceptable behavior and violated both the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks’ internal policies intended to maintain a professional and safe work environment. Therefore, Corey Perry was placed on the unconditional waiver draft. We intend to terminate his contract with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement.
Did the striker, who became legendary during his career, who has a wife and son, really do something vile?
Chicago denies these rumors.
“The Corey Perry situation does not include any players or their families. Rumors like this are downright disgusting,” Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said.

If the official’s words are true, what could be the real problem? Previously, Chicago stated that Perry’s suspension was the club’s decision and not the player’s initiative. Corey’s agent, Pat Morris, said at the time that the player had left the club “to resolve personal matters” and that “Corey and his family wish to remain private at this time.”
Dark story. If the problem is personal, why then is it not Perry’s decision to leave the team, but rather the club’s? There are many questions…
But we are already able to answer one of them. Could this story pave the way for a real-world hockey superstar in the KHL?
Perry in the KHL: true or false?
Amid the scandal, many began to wonder: maybe it’s time to invite Perry to Russia?
These rumors don’t come out of nowhere. The KHL has recently become a haven for all hockey players who are in trouble with the law in North America or who have crossed the boundaries of morality by being involved in high-profile scandals. From those who are really to blame, to those who only years later suffered for the sins of the distant past. From Alex Galchenyuk to Mitchell Miller.

“It has no place in the NHL.” An unprecedented scandal shocked the United States
Why not take Perry too?
First let me remind you who this guy is. In recent years, Corey has been less well known than is typical for a player of his stature. He played in Chicago (a bit) and Tampa (for two seasons), almost winning the Stanley Cup with the Lightning.
Overall, Perry is an NHL legend. In 2003, Corey was drafted 28th overall by Anaheim. At the age of 19, in 2005, the forward took gold at the World Youth Championship with the Canadian team. In 2007, the forward won the Stanley Cup with Anaheim, where he ultimately played for 12 years; In 2011 he took home the Maurice Richard and Hart Trophy.
In 2010, Perry helped Canada win the Olympic Games. In the battle, or rather, in the beating, in the quarterfinals against the Russian team, the striker scored a double and then scored again in the final. Four years later, the striker became a two-time Olympic champion. And two years later, in 2016, Perry entered the Triple Gold Club. In May, Corey led the Canadian team to the World Cup matches as captain and the team later won the tournament. In September, the hockey player played in the World Cup, which he also won.
And in the NHL, Perry currently ranks fifth among active players in appearances (1,273), eighth in goals (421) and 11th in points (892). The Canadian is known not so much for his statistics, which are already good, but for his ability to play defensively and get under the opponent’s skin. He will definitely go into the Hockey Hall of Fame when he retires.

Such a superstar would definitely be useful in the KHL. Yes, we have top-level players like Alexander Radulov, but there have been no major transfers for a long time. And the Canadian forward would absolutely strengthen any KHL club.
Let’s close our eyes to the limit of foreign players: for the sake of such a hockey player, you can break up with someone. Question: Will any club match Perry’s salary? In “Chicago” he reached a salary cap of 4 million dollars per season; At the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to about 360 million rubles. Many non-top-tier teams have enough room on their roster even for such a contract, but the Canadian is unlikely to go to Cherepovets or Nizhnekamsk conditionally.
In Tampa, by the way, he received a million dollars a year, that is, almost 90 million rubles. But then, of course, Perry took a pay cut so he could really compete for his second Stanley Cup.
Forward. According to available data, SKA (902 million rubles), Ak Bars (909) and CSKA (902) even slightly exceed the ceiling, which means that the way there is definitely closed. “Metallurg”, “Salavat” and “Lokomotiv” have everything filled almost to capacity. Avangard and Dynamo Moscow have some place. Spartak and Torpedo have enough space to even host an equivalent contract, but their financial capabilities are limited.
In general, in theory, even now there are clubs in the KHL that could afford Perry.

Another question is the most important: will the Canadian himself want to move to the KHL? This is where the main problem lies. During his career, Perry earned at least $84 to $85 million from club contracts alone. Yes, not much compared to footballers, for example, but not a cent, which should make the Canadian think mainly about the financial aspect of his next offer. .
At the age of 38, I am interested in radically changing my life, moving not just to another country, to another continent! – It is also unlikely that they will find it. Especially considering that he has some “family circumstances.”
Thus, the path to the KHL is open for him. But Corey himself is unlikely to want to come here.
Will Perry find refuge in the NHL after such a loud and mysterious scandal? Or will the career of a great player end on such an absurd note?
I would like to believe that Corey’s situation is not that disgusting, it does not involve difficult situations and that Perry himself has not yet said his last word. In every sense.
