Rock Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Where'd you see that? This from the Star Ledger http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2010/08/decision_on_ilya_kovalchuks_co.html Despite optimism that a decision on Ilya Kovalchuk's contract could come as early as Friday, it is likely arbitrator Richard I. Bloch will wait until Monday before announcing his ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs26 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 TG was making the point that the 48 hours to render a decision was 48 business hours, so if the hearing ends tomorrow it's conceivable a decision would have to wait until Monday. If the hearing somehow ends by 5 PM today then we'd have to hear something by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Part of me is actually hoping the arbitrator rules for the NHL because i dont want to see a work-stoppage in a cpl years, and i dont wanna hear ppl complain that the Devils have an unfair advantage and all that garbage talk. Im sure at this stage Lou and Kovy can re-work the contract to something reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The guy should take all the time he needs. So if we have to wait until next Thursday (48 business hours based on an 8 hour 5day work week) so be it. IF it comes in sooner against the Devis he didn't take enough time if it comes in later against the Devils he took too much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be a work stoppage either way. if there's anything we've learned, billionaires fighting millionaires over money takes a long time, and the fans are always the losers.

Maybe the league is going after the ocntract because of the blatant attempt to circumvent the cap... why this contract as opposed to some of the others I don't know, but I don't believe there is a conspiracy to bone the Devils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the other contracts were very similar. As someone posted earlier in one of the many lengthy Kovy threads, it is like a police officer watching someone go by doing 74 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, and then pulling over the guy going 76 MPH in that same zone...yes the Kovy contract was a little different, but not by much....

Legion15 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Throw in the trapezoid rule (don't even try to deny that was for Brodeur, and maybe Turco), and I'm calling shenanigans on this league of course it is. the league doesn't like the idea of a team being in nj, because it's "market" is overshadowed by the ranjerks and flyers who have been around longer. its harder to market the devils without taking away from either team. The league never seems to legitimize us, and they seem to want to hinder any chance that we become a household name. Even though there are a lot of people unfamiliar with either team, I guess it's kind of like Anaheim stealing from the Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
