sure he might be saying all the right things to those that ask (playing to the russian crowd), but i'd be pretty certain that if he could finish his year in the KHL and come back to the NHL next year, he would do it in a heartbeat.

Ilya Kovalchuk: Alas, it is unreal to stay in
#KHL. I have a contract with#Devils and I will stick to it. My flight is booked for Jan15
#Devils' Ilya Kovalchuk just told Sport-Express.ru that he'd be on a plane to NA on January 15. The saga has ended

Now let's just make sure our fans don't do something stupid like boo him on his return. That's the last thing he, and this team, needs

He may get a smattering, if that. If he does, Ilya should be smart enough to realize that:
1) Yet another lockout has some fans ornery and cranky and not in the mood to let some things slide,
2) His quotes aren't exactly dripping with enthusiasm with regards to coming back, which is bound to tick off some,
and
3) Some of those who weren't as quick to warm to him as others will give him a hard time for this...some will interpret his quotes as him acting like he's doing the Devils a favor.
But it's like I said earlier, he plays well and it's very quickly forgotten.

THE NHL MUST LOVE THE DEVILS - from who else? A RANGER fan!
[Mark Messier]: A big, bald attention whore with a stupid Easter Island-lookin face. - from who else? DaneykoIsGod!
Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.
Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.
Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.
It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

That's up to how Ilya handles this when he comes back. I think he will hear some boos but they will last as long as he is scoreless.

From @IgorEronko
He could've said "I'm so excited to be heading back to Jersey, can't wait to join my teammates, win the cup this season etc"
Reading between the lines
"Alas...I so desperately wanted to stay...but I must head back to Jersey. Boohoo...the contract must be honored"

Exactly. He lights up the scoresheet like we all hope he will, and nobody will be booing him. I still don't think he should be made captain though. I can see this team going the season with 3 "A"'s instead of naming someone captain this year. Long term, if Zajac stays, I can see him getting it next year.

I try to give him the benefit of the doubt knowing those quotes are to the Russian press for the Russian fans.He could've said "I'm so excited to be heading back to Jersey, can't wait to join my teammates, win the cup this season etc"

Meanwhile Ilya Kovalchuk says he never had a dilemma where to play: he just didn't want to hurry until CBA is signed
More Kovalchuk: Medias made a mountain out of a molehill. My intention was to play in#NHL. And i'll be back in a very good shape

Honestly this is a win win for Kovy if he comes back playing like he is in midseason form...we quickly forget and he leaves a fanbase in Russia happy...maybe Lou should start selling our Jerseys there...I hear they like Red ;-)

1/2: @TGfireandice: RT @IgorEronko: #KHL head Alex Medvedev says he'll be in NA in February to discuss with #Devils Ilya Kovalchuk's contract buyout to have him back in Russia.
Really? What's with these guys? Yeah sure we will buyout a 100 million dollar contract no problem so you can take our best player, that makes sense.
