The Corey Perry rumor has been making the rounds for a long time. It would seem to imply a fallout after the fact over an affair with a teammate’s mother. GM Kyle Davidson revealed that the rumor is baseless and gross.
You can’t terminate someone simply because you feel like it, and especially not because of personal relationships. The average worker would have to commit a major breach of the employment contract, e.g., theft or assault, if they wanted severance without pay upon termination from their work.
Grown-ups get to have relationships, and by all accounts, it is not an unlawful ground for termination. If there is something that does not even come close to breaching the legal standards at its lowest benchmark, then it is this fake news. So, you see how the Corey Perry rumor is doesn’t make any sense.
In speaking to the media, Kyle Davidson called it a “workplace matter.” Sources close to the situation told ESPN’s Emily Kaplan that it was centered around a “team employee”.
