Even if Perry does not want to grieve termination, the union may want it.
PA always looking to not allow the NHL to set precedence in doing something that would be negative to a player. Bergland might have been fine with it, but another player in the future might not but if the PA doesn't grieve in the past, then the standard gets set moving forward.Grievance rights belong to the union, not to the player.
But no announcement of result?
While exact details of the settlement are unknown, the key in this case is it cannot be used as precedent in any future termination conversations. The players’ association wanted to make sure guaranteed contracts will be protected as much as is possible.
So his contract get's terminated with cause and he still ends up made whole?
