A few months after his controversial contract termination in Chicago, multiple contending teams are likely to be interested in the player as he prepares to make a return in the NHL.
Because no details about what happened were released, people doubted that he would come back.
However, Elliotte Friedman revealed new details, suggesting Perry's contract might not have ended if he were with a different team.
The Blackhawks,who have been struggling with controversies in recent years, wanted to steer clear of contentious figures, regardless of their skills and reputation, like Perry.
Nevertheless, recent developments indicate that Perry is still attracting significant interest across the league.
