Corey Perry has been away from the Chicago Blackhawks for around a week now. Since leaving he has been surrounded by conflicting reports and rumors about the situation.
The first conflicting report was centered around whether or not he was voluntarily away from the team. Kyle Davidson said that the team sent away Corey Perry during a statement.
Then Perry's agent fired back and said that Perry was attending to personal issues.
This led NHL insider Frank Seravalli to weigh in on the situation. He alluded to the idea that both of these statements could be true. The team could be telling Perry to stay away while he attends to a personal issue.
Since all of these reports have come out the internet has found a theory and run with it.
Early today a screenshot released of an anonymous text message exchange alleged that Corey Perry is away from the team due to having an inappropriate relationship with Connor Bedard's mother.
The messages allege that Bedard's mother and Perry had a relationship and that a current TSN employee was the original source of the information. While this is far from confirmed it has not stopped the internet and social media from running with the narrative.
Again while this story is far from confirmed by any party involved it does give a potential explanation for the absence of Perry. It also could lead the team or Perry to make a statement coming out with the truth whatever that may be to put an end to any rumors.
As more updates or information is provided from the team or Perry we will pass them along to you in this developing situation.
