Reported to be a 1 year deal at 2.75 million, although the sources on that part aren't exactly household names, so that might be wrongAccording to Spitting Chicklets, Patrick Kane has signed in Detroit.
Alcoholism might be part of it but if it was just that, he'd probably just go off to the player assistance program.There is a rumor going around on social media that Perry fucked Connor Bedard's mom, but then another reporter said that flat-out wasn't true. So I have no idea what's going on. The wording is similar to that the Stars gave when they fired Monty for his alcoholism. FWIW.

Chicago places Perry on unconditional waivers.
So what you're saying is..... "not the Chicago Blackhawks"?I realize there are privacy and legal reasons as to why they can't say what Perry did but it also feels like a smart PR team could craft some sort of language that dispel's the rumor without crossing any of the privacy and legal lines.
So he wasn't being a Father Figure?It's so very Chicago that the guy they brought in to "mentor" the youth is being dumped after 20 games for conduct unbecoming. Rotten from the top.
They did exactly that during the press conference, FWIWI realize there are privacy and legal reasons as to why they can't say what Perry did but it also feels like a smart PR team could craft some sort of language that dispel's the rumor without crossing any of the privacy and legal lines.
He was called Daddy thoSo he wasn't being a Father Figure?
I’ve heard it was a team event the night before the game and sponsors/employees were there and he went off verbally. Not sure on who.I'm guessing he showed up drunk to practice or a team function.
Thanks for that link. I was pretty confused about the previous posts about goalie goals that weren't shots on goal.Minor league oddity --
Yesterday, a Capitals minor leaguer got credited with a goalie goal. Then a few hours later, it happened again.

Sorry, Caps are actually next. Then it ends.But when do they play Washington (2018) and Pittsburgh (2016-17)?
And I can't quite believe that Daniel Alfredsson is.I can't believe Jacques Martin is still coaching in the NHL. Well, in Ottawa, anyway.
Couldn't they ask Perfetti what happened? Dont they regularly ask the other player if anything led up to the incident in question?So Ryan Hartman got fined like $4,000 for high sticking Cole Perfetti. Play bellow:

Where it gets interesting is Hartman told Perfetti he was going to do it as retribution for an earlier Brendan Dillon/Kaprizov incident. Perfetti was mic'd up so it's all on tape. Apparently as part of the NHL/NHLPA agreeemnt for players to be mic'd up, DoPS can't use the audio against Hartman.
Tavares will be on his last year of his contract, so they will only be in that situation for one season. I don’t see them extending him for big money as a 35 year old. Marner is also expiring but assuming he gets extended at Matthew’s number ($13.25, a $2.3 million raise in AAV), their salary cap will be pretty much how it is now for 2025-2026. Either way, they better get good at developing young defenseman and goalies.Rumor has it that the Leafs are close to signing Nylander to a Pasta-like extension of $11M+/yr
The core-four (Matthews. Tavares, Nylander, Marner) are eating up 48% of the Leaf's cap space this year.
Matthew's new contract kicks in next year as well.
Even with an increase in cap space next year of $4M+, those guys would be using something like 53% of the Leaf's cap space.
Unless a team has an abundance of talented young players to offset the cost, it doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
I saw the hit multiple times and it looked like a clean shoulder to his chest but he must have taken a helmet to the jaw. He is an exciting player. And Uncle Nick broke a finger defending him.Blackhawks placing Connor Bedard on IR with a fractured jaw, and Foligno with a broken finger, no timeline yet for either.
Thought it was more the forearm of the guy as Bedard was angled forward. Don’t think it was dirty though. Just one of those right height, right lean, and bad outcome.I saw the hit multiple times and it looked like a clean shoulder to his chest but he must have taken a helmet to the jaw. He is an exciting player. And Uncle Nick broke a finger defending him.
