PrintDarren Dreger of TSN is reporting via twitter that the National Hockey League and the Player's Association have come to an agreement that will hopefully put an end to the Ilya Kovalchuk saga once and for all. Dreger referred to it as a "Global Settlement" that includes the approval of the Kovalchuk deal and likely an amendment in the collective bargaining agreement between the players and the league. Paper work is expected to be finalized by 5 p.m. so that is when everything will be officially confirmed, but stay tuned here as we will have all updates as they come in.
This is very good news for the league and the fans because it will erase all talk of a potential lockout in the near future, at least for now.
TSN says a deal between the NHL and the PA has been reached and they're working on paper work for 5pm.
Kovalchuk deal will also get approved as part of the new global settlement.

As a Devils fan I must say: it’s almost criminal to have Ilya Kovalchuk at a $6.67 mil cap hit while Drury is at $7.05 mil. Sorry to all Blueshirt fans.

Enjoy it now. We’ll re-visit when 36 year old Kovy is chewing up $6.67 mil for 55 points a year.

Daniel Alfredsson is 37 still putting up a point per game, and he never put up Kovy- like numbers…
I can dig and find a ton of more examples, and he’ll most likely get out of the deal at 37.
Marc R.
No
Alfredsson never put up Kovy goal numbers, but their point totals are similar. Oh also Alfredsson wins in the playoffs, something that your boy Kovalchuk can’t seem to do.

Really?
The Devils weren’t a surrounding cast last year? Last I checked the Devils were pretty damn good last year.

And 50% of the people in the building are wearing a suit and couldn’t give a sh*t what’s going on on the ice.

That's non-Rangers fans big (and only) argument against the Rangers attendance
still, it beats being in the Cup finals and having 3,000 empty seats in the building, in game 7.

Yeah funny part is i would’ve had Sather originally sign Drury to a ten year contract if it meant his cap hit would be 4.5 million per front loaded with a team option on the last 3 years. But hey its Sather so…

Thank God put it to bed, now the Devils can go get busy missing the playoffs :)

In Ranger related news...
Anyone hear the (im probably late on this but we) Zipay RUMOR about Savard possibly being traded to us for Gilroy, Avery and a 2011 2nd rounder? Sounds kinda good although id still hate to lose Aves
by louielounz1 on Sep 3, 2010 5:16 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I sign for that in an absolute heartbeat. I like Aves too, but that’s ridiculously lopsided in our favor.

How would we fit that under the cap though?
by CrazyRangerFan on Sep 3, 2010 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions
It’s only another ~700k. It’s the same deal, ARISTH, they have money for things.

Damn. I like Gilroy and Aves so much, but you can’t pass that up.

I thought we were getting a d man
Is the rumor for the 3 for one for a d man actually for savard?
Or are we trying to get savard and an experienced D man we need both. If that somehow happens that would put this season in a whole new perspective
We don't need any more D men.
Eminger can take over for Redden and McDonagh can take over for Gilroy if in fact the trade actually happens
