Maybe I don't have zero information? Regardless, we can all argue about what he did is a one time thing, etc... My point isn't to blast the Oilers or Perry for that matter. My point is in pro sports winning trumps any ethical standards. Most fans and people that are casual to sports use this signing as an example of good athletes being exempt from repercussions. For his poor behavior, can we agree on that, whatever it was, he gets rewarded and signs with a cup contender (maybe). he has plenty of money, so not much harm with the contract being canceled to him in the scheme of things.We also know this wasn’t a criminal issue as nothing about legal remifications have emerged. It’s likely a workplace issue of which the severity is still unknown to the public. And there could be plenty of reasons why that information is unknown, protecting identities of non-public parties and/or Chicago PR reasons are the most likely reasons. We also know that Perry has apologized for his actions and sought help to better himself as the result of whatever he did.
The Oilers aren’t “looking the other way”. In fact they looked directly at it and asked ALL the few people that are privy to what happened, exactly what happened. Could it be that with their full information they are treating it with the appropriate response? And you, with zero information and not even informing yourself of publically available information is just looking for a reason to shit on the Oilers and Perry?

And if in alternate timeline, a lawsuit was filed by an aggrieved NBC employee naming Perry and the Blackhawks as defendants that Perry sexually harrased them, the Hawks were made aware of it and did nothing about it, everyone would be in here with their torches and pitchforks going on about how the org hasn't changed or learned anything from previous mistakes.Wow. Finally it’s been revealed. So essentially it was more a Chicago issue than a Perry issue. I won’t call it a nothing burger but it’s very close to.
This matches the NHLPA and NHL’s reaction which essentially boiled down to: MEH.
I would say the real scandal here is that due to Chicago having a dirty history, they were allowed to just cancel a 4M contact out of thin air? No wonder the NHLPA wants to appeal.
Honestly I feel bad for Perry here. The “crime” does not fit the punishment.
Imagine if this wasn’t Perry and it was just some random average to below average 4th liner with no reputation to rely on. That player would have lost his contract and been out of the league, with no one willing to sign him, no one willing to give him a 2nd chance. This situation was one borne out of the Hawks incompetence in handling the Beach incident.
Also, for shame on Leafs homer Nick Kypreos who tried to pass judgement on Holland and the entirety of Edmonton media for not digging into this more, even though Holland literally talked to everyone and anyone that actually knew what happened of which there wasn’t much. Only Kyle Davidson, Perry, Bettman, Daley, a couple of NBC employees knew about what happened, and Kypreos threw the entire Edmonton media and by proxy its fans under the bus. f*** Kypreos too and f*** the Hawks.
Zach Kassian came to Edmonton with baggage and he was a model citizen off the ice and turned his career around and helped us alot during the playoff run. He became a fan favorite here. He ended up re-signing with us and still cheers for this team to this day.
Evander Kane came to Edmonton with baggage and he's been nothing but great in the dressing room and even better in the community. He turned his career around and helped us alot during the playoffs too. He also ended up re-signing here.
Some of you posters can mock all you want about Edmonton being a 'trash' organization bringing in 'trash' players... but you can look at it from a different view and say that we gave them a second chance in their careers and helped turned their lives around as well.

There's no pleasing you people.
Not a counter-arguement or counterpoint.If your point begins with IF IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. Please, let’s stick to the facts here. We just found out what happened. Even before we found out it was known that it was not criminal or grounds to terminate a contract. This is from the NHL and NHLPA themselves.
Actually I didn’t see what you had bolded in my post. I thought you were finding a way to still blame Perry based on a ridiculous hypothetical.Not a counter-arguement or counterpoint.
Great post. All the posters in here are holier than thou, have never done anything wrong in their lives and believe no one deserves a second opportunity. Says more about them than anything

So what Perry did was be in a bar and hit on some NBC employee? Okay, that stuff tends to happen at bars. If the NBC employee said something like "no thanks" and Perry didn't pursue further(which would have been sexual harrassment), I don't really see what the big deal is.
I'm pretty sure Bedard gets away with it, had that been him. (Accroding to the information coming out. Which is all we know. Obviously there could be more details we aren't aware of) But if so, this wasn't a "we had no choice". This was a "Perry means nothing to us and we don't want bad PR."You guys need to understand.. The black hawks owners .. Own Comcast.. which owns NBC lol

He is. And so do I, lol. There will be chirping between benches...Looks like a d#$% faced rat.
Love it.
