Gary Bettman finally comments publicly on the Corey Perry matter

Firstly, was he in agreement with the Blackhawks' decision? Elliotte Friedman provided an update.

It's clear that Gary Bettman is likely aware of every detail, and he hasn't even decided if he needs to question Perry in the event of his return to play.

This speaks volumes about the gravity of the situation. That is to say, if it had been very serious, there is no doubt he would have wanted to have a say in the matter.

In short, it's serious enough for the Blackhawks to show him the exit without paying his salary, but perhaps not serious enough for him to return to the League. There are already rumors about his possible comeback. In my opinion, it will depend more on him than anything else.
