Two Blackhawks Veterans Reveal How the Team Really Feels About Losing Corey Perry

Over the last few weeks, all eyes were turned to Chicago, with Corey Perry's contract termination grabbing most of the attention.

After he violated the team code during an organizational event, the team decided to cut ties with him, even if he was a respected leader in the locker room.

Three of his former teammates opened up on his departure.

Nick Foligno, another respected veteran, noticed a drop in energy within the team when Perry left.

He mentionned the importance for others to step up, as well as the lessons he learned from Perry in his short stint with the Blackhawks.

Connor Murphy, who's been in Chicago since 2017, talked about adapting to Perry's departure and helping other with his experience:

Young Blackhawks players can be grateful to have great veterans to help them navigate through these hard times in Chicago.

Who do you think will be the next captain of the Blackhawks?
