    So the rumor is the Devils are not going to fight this?

    Re-negotiation?
    Moving on?
    Lou getting his way?

    From what I can tell, there isn't much, I'd expect at least a challenge. Lou said he'd done nothing wrong and it's legal.

    If Kovalchuk is true to his word and money wasn't a factor he should just sign a 10 year deal at say.. 80 mill. If in fact he does want to be a "Devil for life" he should have no problem coming to a new agreement to get this shit taken care of once and for all.

    This has been one long fucking soap opera

    I don't know if the words "Kovalkhuck" "money wasn't a factor" belong in the same sentence. I see him going to the KHL now.

    I don't really know what the solution is...
    Get back on a real network would be a good start...
    VS is in 65 million homes in america

    ESPN is in 90 million homes

    ESPN doesn't give a shit bout hockey. that was pretty obivous when the coverage was getting less and less and when ESPN low balled the nhl with a low contract. That's why the NHL went to OLN/VS

    Hockey is a niche sport in america and espn would rather shove poker down peoples throats then hockey.

    VS and the NHL network do a good job in covering hockey. VS one playoff night this year had 4 games that they showed and the nhl network has shown the canada day games. Those are 2 things ESPN would never do.

    I agree with you about Vs. being better than ESPn but i still believe that the major issue is that the NHL is trying to become a top 3 sport in the US when it can't. The NHL has to get back to strong teams. ESPN or any other station is not going to show hockey games between 2 loser teams. by building a better NHL you will get the TV ratings. Hockey is a great sport (my favorite) but it will not become larger until the NHl becomes more exciting to non-fans.

    I disagree Rygar. The NHL can't afford to lose players with his talent. he is a superstar and the NHL doesn't have that many superstar left.

    the nhl will never be a top 3 sport. Nascar gets more viewers in america then the nhl and we all know how huge nascar is. The only way the nhl will ever be a top 3 sport or stronger is get rid of teams in the southern us or move them to seattle or canada like you and others said. the last lockout killed any hopes of the nhl ever being a top 3 sport. It was a top 4 sport before the lockout but now poker and nascar have taken its place.

    lets not go over board. While yes, poker is on TV all time and nascar is big too. from all reports both don't grab as much ratings at the NHL. NHL is still number 4. I agree that the lockout didn't help the NHL (just like the lockout in baseball didn't help baseball in canada) but i still believe the major issues is that there are too many team.
