No Back Checking and Sloppy on His Shifts

No Back Checking and Sloppy on His Shifts

Lamoriello said the Devils renewed talks with Kovalchuk after Bloch’s decision was announced around 5:45 p.m. EDT on Monday. He would not get into specifics. Jay Grossman, Killebrew jersey agent, did not return two telephone messages left by The AP and one e-mail sent to him. Kovalchuk was the NHL’s top free agent this year with 338 goals in 642 career games.

What is obvious is that the Devils will have to take a Joe Mauer jersey if they reach a new and probably shorter deal in terms of duration with the 27-year-old Kovalchuk. Under the deal that was voided by the league, Kovalchuk would have only counted for $6 million annually against the cap. The lower cap value resulted because he would have been paid just $550,000 in each of the last five years of the contract.

The New Jersey Devils are working on another deal to sign Ilya Kovalchuk. Less than 24 hours after an arbitrator ruled that the NHL acted correctly in voiding Zack Greinke jersey landmark $102 million contract with New Jersey, team president and general manager Greinke jersey said the Devils will continue working to re-sign the high scoring Russian. If he re-signs with New Jersey, there is a chance the team might have to move some players to make room for him.

Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek did not immediately return a telephone call left by The AP on Tuesday seeking comment. Look at the other NHL sites and there is no where near the level of Kovie Love going on there. Why is it only on Yahoo that this is happening? For example after the ruling TSN has had one blogs about the story with over 800+ comments in regards to the ruling. As a hardcore hockey fan all I need to know is the contract is either void or good.
