If it's true I don't have an issue with the Hawks firing Perry, but I doubt they would be willing to take this stance with every player on the roster.

Dropping Perry makes them look like they are turning a new leaf and buttoning down on unacceptable behavior.

If Bedard did the same thing, the story would be buried.

It's not an equal standard and I think what the Hawks did is purely for public relations, not specifically to hold Perry accountable.

I wonder what the definition of "make a pass" is here. I don't think hitting on someone, or even propositioning them is cause for dismissal - especially if it's someone who isn't with the organization. I struggled with this during the height of the "me too" movement too - mixed in with the rapes and the abuse of power, you'd have a story of some guy who tried to hit on someone while they were drunk and the girl just wasn't interested in them. If nothing else happened, how is that a story? If he just shot his shot and got shot down, then I can't see that as grounds for dismissal. If he persisted or was really handsy or what not, then maybe that's a different story.

If it's really as simple as Scott suggests, then I'd think Perry has a pretty strong case against the Blackhawks and they'll end up paying him most of his contract in the end. If not, well, then there's more here.

Perry has cashed almost $100M in his career, and I think he gets ~$3M out of the 4 Chicago's deal gave him. Now he gets another $1M from us, so he's getting $4M this year in the twilight of his career.

Even if it's just that he made a pass or touched a lady while drunk and he feels like he should have been giving more leeway by Chicago, is it really worth his time to start a fight with the Hawks? We just gave him everything he could have wanted. All his lost salary back, and a chance to win a cup now. Getting his drunk grabby hands event back in the media just on principle to stick it to the Hawks seems like more stress than it would be worth. Especially considering he has a wife and kid to answer to. I'm thinking he's more than happy to never deal with it again, except when his wife brings it up to win arguements for the rest of his life.

Sounds like he is getting a break in this trade. In the presser he shared that his wife and kids remained in Chicago. Not that its not normal for the family to stay in there home during a mid-season trade, but I can only imagine his home life has dramatically changed after the incident. That 100M+ career earnings may get chopped in half soon enough.

Lol. Maybe he is waiting until after the divorce to sue for damages in hopes he can keep more of it.
