In breaking news, it has been revealed that Corey Perry likely owes over $1 million dollars to the Chicago Blackhawks in debt.

Perry Over-Paid for The Amount of Time He Spent With Blackhawks Prior to Being Terminated

Corey Perry's contract was terminated last week after the Chicago Blackhawks conducted a private investigation into an incident that occurred with Perry and a member of the Blackhawks organization while the team was on the road. No further details of the incident were released.

Now, TSN's Chris Johnston has revealed that Perry likely owes the Blackhawks about $1 million dollars. This is because he is only owed $1 Million by the team, but has been paid a $2 million signing bonus.

"Perry has 60 days to decide if he wants to file a grievance via the NHL Players' Association. The matter remains under review, according to a union spokesman. Should he elect to go that route, it would be an exercise in preserving his earning power.

"Perry is entitled to keep approximately $1 million of his $4 million salary after spending roughly 25 percent of the season on the Blackhawks roster prior to having his contract terminated, which means he technically owes money back to the organization because he received a $2 million signing bonus over the summer."

This could be figured out if Perry files a grievance with the NHLPA, and has the right to take it to an independent arbitrator if he wants. Doing so, however, would likely open up the entire situation to the public.
