Two Chicago Blackhawks veterans have broken their silence on the Corey Perry situation revealing how they truly feel.

Foligno And Muprhy Comment On The Perry Situation

Corey Perry had his contract terminated by the Blackhawks just last month and now some of his former teammates are commenting on the void he leaves.

Defenseman Connor Murphy has the following to say about the issue and how he is helping others acclimate:

"I come from some experience of just being here, having some comfort with the staff and team, and knowing what we've been through and what doesn't work. Knowing [my way] around can help with anyone who's either uncomfortable or seems like they're trying to find themselves in a new organization." - Connor Murphy

Blackhawks alternate captain Nick Foligno added how much Perry is missed right now:

"There was a little bit of a lull on that road trip, when the dust settled and you realized [Corey is] really not coming back. You could tell the energy he brought was missing. You mourn that loss, and then you realize, �Alright, it's not changing, so what are we going to do to get the energy back?' We realized other guys have to step up.

A younger guy is more willing to speak up and more comfortable in a home environment. You get to chat with them more about their lives. Little things come out of those dinners that help the bonding experience.'' - Nick Foligno

Perry is currently without a team and has over a month to file a grievance with the NHLPA on wrongful termination. We are currently waiting to see if he will sign with a new team or if he will not play again this year.
