DevilNurn Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Oh hey I heard the Devils might be interested in Kovalchuk this summer--think there are any truth to those rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblin933 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've maintained a cautious optimism throughout this entire process. I thought for sure that one Sunday night we learned he was visiting LA that the next day were were gonna wake up to news that he signed out there. By the end of that week my confidence was as high as it had ever been. At this point I like to think the fact that he at least tried to sign with us (TWICE now at least) as a huge indication that he wants to play for this team and I have a good feeling Lou and company will sort this whole thing out and he'll be signed in the near future.

iamtheprodigy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 wouldn't we need to make a new thread for that? or is this now the all-encompassing thread these days... There is no NJDevs. Only New Kovy Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 And now no one is posting. I'll go ahead and point out that this deal HAS to get done within the next week to leave enough time to trade guys away. I think Lou might be having a hard time doing so.

mouse Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've been addicted to this thread, I've quit this thread in a huff, I've come back older and wiser. It's been an exciting process getting to page 500. I'm not sure if I want this saga to end or not at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmajeski06 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Can't fvckin believe this is still going on. In July, page 500 seemed like a sick joke...but here we are. It's 3:30 in the morning, I'm drunk, and this clusterfvck is still going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think they will have to go through arbitration again, becuase clearly the league will NOT ALLOW any other contract to be signed - it seems that it isn't even AAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) And now no one is posting. I'll go ahead and point out that this deal HAS to get done within the next week to leave enough time to trade guys away. I think Lou might be having a hard time doing so. If it comes down to it, and Lou can't trade or demote players he will simply release them*. Not the ideal situation plus adding to the edge of the trading partners. *eligible players No point in releasing a Rolston as his contract would still be on the cap in such a scenario.

Triumph Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 And now no one is posting. I'll go ahead and point out that this deal HAS to get done within the next week to leave enough time to trade guys away. I think Lou might be having a hard time doing so. the deal could get done september 29th and leave lou enough time. I think they will have to go through arbitration again, becuase clearly the league will NOT ALLOW any other contract to be signed - it seems that it isn't even AAV if the rumor is true and the devils went to the league with a 15 year deal, lou and grossman either didn't read the bloch report, or haven't listened to a single word that bill daly has said since this began.

njdevil26 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well obviously his (Russian) agent contacted the KHL. He's not signed yet and that guy still wants his pay-day? Grossman would be dumb to contact the KHL because he'd be letting his top client and top commission go. These speculative fake rumor articles are really annoying.
