However, on Wednesday, Scott took to his social media platform to retract his statements, apologizing for making false and misleading remarks about Perry.
On his podcast, Scott, who played for various teams, including the Blackhawks, mentioned that the sole reason for Perry's release from the Blackhawks was the team's effort to avoid another major scandal following the recent settlement with former first-round pick Kyle Beach, who accused a former video coach of sexual assault.
While the details of Perry's actions leading to his contract termination in Chicago remain unclear, it appears that Scott is no longer willing to be the one to share them, raising speculation about external pressure influencing his decision to retract the statements.
