    Ron Francis has a lifetime contract with the Carolina Hurricanes. He's to be paid $100,000 per year for the rest of his life, and when he dies, he's to be buried wearing his Hartford Whalers uniform. And skates.
    I love to turn you on

    I almost bought my son a Kovalchuk jersey but they did not get them in yet... :x

    the other 2 or 3 contracts previously signed that lower the cap hit are nothing compared to this.



    Will Devils fans feel the same when the Flyers or Rangers sign Joe Thornton to a 50 year deal and a very low cap hit?

    the Flyers will never sign an overrated player like Thornton to any contract.

    I just got home from seeing Inception in the Garden State. Saw a guy wearing a Devil's hat and shirt. Told him I was a fan and asked what he though about Kovachoo. He said he worked for the Devils and it is still a done deal. So there you have it, PearlJam.com breaking the story, not ESPN, not Yahoo Sports.

    OK Conspiracy theorists...
    ESPN is reporting that the Devils and Lou were aware that the NHL was going to turn down the contract BEFORE the press conference announcing the signing of Ilya...

    Why would they do that... Force the league to make the decision, so that the NHLPA get involved? Lou gets his way on these types of contracts (he obviously was against it)?

    I am having trouble understanding this if they really wanted Kovalchuk...


    the main thing to take out of this is that nobody really gives a fuck besides 8,000 or so in new jersey :lol:

    More people showed up for pearl jam concert there and even that wasn't sold out haha
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    yeah, not too sure why a player would voluntarily go to a team that draws 9,000 ppl for a home game, and 13,000 for a playoff game.

    but to each their own.

    Good point. New Jersey has never been a good state/venue in general for large crowds. I would say the Giants and Jets are the exception, but only playing 8 home games a year helps. Even when the Nets were conference champions (twice), their following regular seasons were far from selling out. Basketball is much more popular than hockey too so it's nothing against the Devils why they don't sell out.

    thats why giants/jets are labeled NY teams, and when the nets move to brooklyn, the devils will be the only professional team in the state. i'm originally from jersey, and that is pretty shitty.

    bergen county really should be considered a borough of NYC.
