It will be years before we learn the real reason Corey Perry was waived and his contract was terminated, and the mystery surrounding it will remain unsolved.

Georges Laraque, a former Montreal Canadien, was on Tony Marinaro's Podcast and mentioned he had a reliable source who knew what happened.

During the era when the role of enforcer was still relevant and a fan favorite, Laraque played the old-school enforcer.

»I know exactly what happened there. I'm going to be careful about what I say because I don't want to be sued. This has nothing to do with Connor Bedard or his mother. I can confirm it to you. The only thing I can say on air is that I understand why the Blackhawks had to make this decision and any other team in the NHL would have done the exact same thing. The reason why I can't say what happened is that I could be sued for defamation but many media outlets and journalists also know exactly what happened." -
