During the Canadiens' impressive run in the 2021 final, two key figures found themselves in Chicago in 2023. Indeed, Luke Richardson and Corey Perry were once again united in the rewarding journey of developing young talent, with Connor Bedard leading the way.

However, with recent events, their partnership is now a thing of the past. The current head coach of the Blackhawks has agreed to comment on the situation.

"I recommended my good faith on a guy like him to come here, and he was doing his job on the ice. Other than that, I don't really know what went on still, off the ice. It's obviously disappointing that we're in this situation but there's no real second-guessing it. We signed him as a really good player to help us in our time of transition here, and he showed he's done that in the past. It's unfortunate we're now in the situation we're in."

From what we gather, Richardson advised Perry to sign with Chicago. He had a reliable veteran with him, and he has now lost him.

Even though he doesn't provide more details about the story, it's evident that the coach is affected by this loss.
