The general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks has addressed the rumors that Corey Perry's dismissal from the team was in relation to Connor Bedard's mother.

Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers after there was an internal investigation on Tuesday.

The team determined that he "engaged in conduct that is unacceptable" and violated the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies.

Unfortunately for the team, this has come just as rumors were already swirling that Perry was in a relationship with Bedard's mother, another Blackhawks player.

Davidson discussing the rumors

GM Kyle Davidson has had no choice but to address this situation, even though he did not make specific reference to Bedard's mother. His language suggests that he was talking about those rumors, though.

"This does not involve any players or their families and anything that suggests otherwise or anyone that suggests otherwise is wildly inaccurate and, frankly, it's disgusting," Davidson said.

"This has been a tough situation and I understand you wanted answers. It was important that we took all the necessary steps before sharing more. I hope you understand that I may not be able to answer everything today, but I am going to be as open and honest as I can be given the situation and out of respect for those involved."

The waiving of Perry came shortly before a clash with the Columbus Blue Jackets and 'unacceptable behavior' was the given reason.

Perry apparently travelled to Columbus one week ago, a day before the Blackhawks were set to play the Blue Jackets, and then an incident occurred with a team employee. This is according to ESPN.

There seems to be very limited detail on the incident itself and where it took place, but it is the first real insight into why Perry is no longer on the team.
