Kovalchuk infiltrates NJ. Costs team Parise, 1st-round pick, destroys cap. Best Russian subterfuge since the cook in Hunt For Red October.

Doesn't matter if you don't like him. He was there best player simple. Just to make things worst they also lose a 1st.

This, but Bettman's a mother fucking cunt and won't give it back to us anyways.

Bettman is a cunt because New Jersey made one of the most obvious circumvents of the cap I've ever seen.. Still don't deserve their pick.

They still have to forfeit their 2014-15 First Round Draft Pick & they'll have a cap hit of $250k per season, for the duration of Kovy's contract.

This. Nobody forced them to offer him that contract, that's on the Devils for being idiots, not on Bettman

Also nobody seemed to care when Kovalchuk was on the roster it was fair lol.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I don't blame the Devils for the contract; they did what they had to do in order to re-sign him. They circumvented by finding a loophole left open in the CBA and then get penalized for such carelessness of the league and the union. Now that I cannot understand.

And while Kovy's contract is the most extreme case, we can find shades of the same "circumvention" in Pronger's contract and Erhoff's.

Feel bad for the Devils and their fans but it doesn't change they still made an obvious attempt to use the loophole... It doesn't matter whether or not he left after, it was still offered. Not to mention he didn't sign the contract that caused them to lose their 1st, that was a different contract before they had to restructure it.

Anyways, thank god the Kings didn't sign this guy when he was a FA. I wanted him in the fold so bad but instead we went out and got Richards and Carter instead. Just goes to prove that maybe the Kings luck as a franchise has finally made a 180.
