The story that’s been going on so long you almost don’t care about it anymore, is almost over. ESPN and Yahoo! are reporting that the NHL has finally agreed to a framework for Kovalchuk’s deal. This likely means that the number of years and amount by which the contract can drop off in the latter [...]

Offensive Corps: Ilya Kovalchuk’s arrival to the Devils brought another point-per-game type of player to a team already boasting a powerful fantasy left winger in Zach Parise. Kovalchuk proceeded to score 27 points in 27 games as he worked towards gelling better with his new teammates. While Parise, with 82 points, saw a drop from [...]

The news is short and sweet: Ilya Kovalchuk returns to the open market after an arbitrator upheld the league’s decision. We were not incredibly bullish on Kovalchuk playing in New Jersey but it would be much better than the KHL. Kovalchuk wanted to play with the Devils and likely will sign another contract that does [...]

Alexei Ponikarovsky certainly isn’t Ilya Kovalchuk. The Kings know this but had to settle for the second (at maximum) best option available to them to shore up their left side. However, what Ponikarovsky can bring to the table is more than what the scoresheet can provide – solid two-way play and often the first one [...]

No need to celebrate with fellow New Jersey Devils teammates just yet as the NHL rejected the Ilya Kovalchuk, 17 year /102 million dollar contract. The contract has been deemed cap circumvention, which makes sense considering Kovalchuk will be a whopping 44-years-old when it ends. As From the Rink pointed out, only .02 percent of [...]

…from his Fantasy owners. Dear Ilya, We never met but I’ve now owned you on my team for some time now. Although I was wary of drafting you a few years ago due to your poor supporting cast, you have proved to be one of the most consistent players in the game if not the [...]

At thirty-years-old, Simon Gagne may find himself on a new team. Gagne never laced them up for a team without orange and black colors but could be on his way out since he makes the third highest total on the team and could want a raise from that. Furthermore, his UFA status and age could [...]

According to Rich Chere of the Star Ledger, the trade for Jason Arnott will not take the New Jersey Devils out of the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes. The article features a few quotes from GM Lou Lamoriello, but we found this one most interesting: “We definitely will do everything we can. The priority right now is [...]

According to Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Maxim Afinogenov and the Atlanta Thrashers are not close to reaching terms on a new contract. Too bad. As we mentioned earlier this week, Afinogenov found himself a nice new home in Atlanta breaking the 60 point barrier for the first time in three years and [...]
