    He obviously wants to play in NJ and likes his chances of winning a cup there so they will make it happen another way.

    maybe this time they'll make it happen by not cheating.
    Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again. Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down.

    the NHL has rejected kovalchuk's ridiculous contract on grounds that the devils were trying to manipulate the salary cap by making it 17 years. good for you, NHL. you're doing something right for once.

    they didn't have a problem with the DP deal. this is exactly the DP deal just 35 million more.

    true, i can see this being the new reason for a lock out. goodwork assman,instead of getting hockeyaway from cities who dont deserve them just stop playing the game.

    I am not even a devils fan but i can't believe how mad i am about this. if i am the devils and everyother team in the nhl i would call assman out and say who r you to tell me who i can sign and pay with my money when you as the nhl are usuing my money to pay players on some other team.

    Luongo and Hossa signed until they're 43, Pronger until age 42, but Kovy's contract can't go to age 44? Don't tell me Kovy won't still be scoring into his forties - he'll be skating against senior citizens and shooting on an ancient Luongo!

    this comment in the comment section from the tsn link is dead on


    i bet kovy goes to the KHL now. good job buttman on loosing a great superstar of your league.

    Explain the elimination of the 2-line pass, the rectangle behind the goal, the constant penalty calls? These were all done to put an end to the Devils...and you know, it worked for the next 5 years until Lou and co. had enough and said we will get Kovy and keep our strong goaltending and D and let's see other teams defend now and take penalties and have swiss-cheese goalies...and the whole league is not happy that the Devils will be a huge force for the next decade and everyone put pressure on that rat fuck bettman.

    When Hossa signed in Chicago people were happy he wasn't with the Red Wings anymore...when the Flyers extended Pronger, nobody said anything because it's the Flyers...but when the Devils make a huge move, people start crying...I'm sure Lou is just laughing at this right now, going to bed happy and salivating at the chance to eat betty out...Kovy will be a Devil, dont worry...if anything, he might help us out and make the cap hit even less!

    Im glad they rejected it. It took a few days because they probably had to make sure they had legal grounds to do so, and/or blessing from the NHLPA.

    Its a bullshit deal and one that would certainly bring about another lockout. As it is, teams are allowed certain methods and leeway to circumvent the cap to a point. This deal completely blows the doors off the cap and we are right back to square 1.

    It is a bullshit way to get around the cap. But it is by the rules, and I don't see how you can allow a 10 year deal and not a 17 year deal. There is no defining rule.

    What really pisses me off is that Bettman and his cronies sacrificed a season to get this CBA and Salary Cap and they couldn't even get it right. These long term deals are just reminders to everyone how much of a tool Bettman is.
