Corey Perry had a rollercoaster of a season in 2023/24, as his appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals was a far distance from where he began the season with the Chicago Blackhawks. There was an incident behind the scenes that caused the team to terminate his contract, and now, the story has been brought up again by Blackhawks Insider Mark Lazarus, who has some intriguing questions of his own for the Oilers.
In his latest mailbag, Lazarus questions if the Edmonton Oilers know the full story, as the insider reveals that he has details beyond what the public know, but doesn't have the whole story, and won't release those details until he does. It's no surprise that this story comes to the surface just after the Oilers signed former Chicago GM Stan Bowman, who has a less than stellar reputation of his own, and if those details ever do come to light, the Oilers themselves will have many questions to answer.
