Kovalchuk Saga

Fans are waiting for a resolution. So is Ilya Kovalchuk. But it’s not just those interested parties watching closely. The result of the NHL’s decision to reject Kovalchuk’s 17-year, $102 million contract with the New Jersey Devils figures to create waves across the National Hockey League.
On Wednesday morning, the NHL made official its decision, which SN reported late Tuesday.
“The contract has been rejected by the league as a circumvention of the collective bargaining agreement,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “Under the CBA, the contract rejection triggers a number of possible next steps.”
And that’s what’s being decided. The Devils and Kovalchuk can re-work the deal to the league’s satisfaction. Or the next step could be a grievance from the NHLPA, which released a statement on Wednesday saying the association is “analyzing the basis upon which the NHL rejected the contract.”
