After a controversial contract termination with the Chicago Blackhawks a few months ago, Corey Perry is gearing up for a potential return to the NHL, drawing interest from multiple contending teams.

"Can confirm that Corey Perry is eligible to sign with any NHL team as a free agent after having his contract terminated by the #blackhawks on Nov. 30. He would need to sign by the March 8 trade deadline in order to be eligible for this year's playoffs."

Initially clouded in mystery, doubts arose about Perry's comeback due to the lack of details surrounding his contract termination.

However, Elliotte Friedman shed light on the situation, suggesting that Perry's contract might not have been terminated if he played for a different team.

"Interesting part on Elliott Friedman's 32TP.

«There is definitely a feeling here that if this had happened on any other team (besides the Chicago Blackhawks) it might not have led to a contract termination» (regarding Corey Perry's terminated contract with the Hawks)"

The Blackhawks, navigating recent controversies, appeared determined to distance themselves from potential sources of contention, regardless of a player's skills or reputation, leading to Perry's contract termination.

Despite this, recent developments indicate that Perry is still a sought-after figure across the league.
