holy shit this is the most surprising retirement since Barry Sanders. He was on the decline of his career, though. Good luck to Kovy, hopefully he gets a chance to spend time with the family. That mostly sucks for the Devils, because they have very little offense. Being rid of the contract is nice, though the cap hit will hurt in some years.

How is it douchebag if the guy wants to go back to his home country? This is what you get by locking players out and giving them a taste of other options.

well he is guaranteed to be at Sochi 2014

the bigger ice surface in the KHL makes for a better game
and the players know it better than any "fan".

great salary cap circumvention by the Devils.

where is that guy that said Phoenix leaving was a "sure thing" LOL.

i am a rangers fan this is hilarious to me lol

i kinda agree with mani in part. the owners are assholes, and deserve this.

on the other hand, he just totally fucking shafted jersey hard. after the fa rush, and righta fter he turned 30 so they get hit with the cap recaputre deal. and you can bet they woulda took that 1st penalty for him instead of mattau if they knew this was coming. he signed the contract, and he should honor it.

should be interesting to see the nhl/khl slap fight when he tries returning to cska


e: The Devils basically just got away with giving Ilya a 3 year $23m deal, and all it cost them was one draft pick and $250k until 2024

e2: wtf they voided so he can play. holy fucking cap circumvention. lou knew this was the deal all along lol that fukin sneaky bastard

every european player has to deal with the same issues tho.. im sure all of them would like to be with their family and play in their home country but there has to be some sort of accountability when you sign a contract with a team. both NJ and kovi made a commitment to each other and now hes backing out of it now after NJ gave up a shitload of assets for him

1) he announced his retirement after free agency was over
2) NJ passed up on horvat (1st line potential) to get schnieder
3) they lost their 2014-2015 1st rounder in the kovalchuk acquisition
4) he made it impossible for NJ to sign re-parise/clarkson due to cap issues

all in all its a pretty douchebag move imo

I just... ugh. 250k cap penalty is nothing, but this really sucks the enthusiasm I had out of this season.


At least the Leafs look good this year. >:[

my thoughts exactly, if he did this out of the blue. Otherwise, Lou continues to be an the Emperor Palpatine of the league. On one hand, clearly brilliant. On the other hand, really weird decisions sometimes that leave the Empire extremely vulnerable. Especially now that the moister farmers got off long island arent just doing t-41 runs against wampas.

Dmitry Chesnokov @dchesnokov

Source close to Kovalchuk said he saw it coming. Most likely Kovalchuk will play for SKA. I am told major announcement will come very soon.

Dmitry Chesnokov ‏@dchesnokov 3m
SKA will announce Kovalchuk's signing tomorrow, per @plysenkov, wanted to do it today.

well at least NJ got rid of his contract, i guess it works out fine for both partys. NJ made a mistake by signing him to that deal in the first place and they paid for it by losing parise. i guess i was kinda over-exaggerating

"Smirnoff is the only Russian I can trust"

i don't blame the guy.
he gets to go home. he can play in the Olympics.
he gave NJ 100% when he did play for them.
he gets to play on a larger ice surface.

NJ and other teams realize how dangerous these super long term contracts are.

Didn't they sign this ridiculous contract to get around the cap hit? I'm pretty sure they saw this coming from the very beginning, just not so soon lol. It was pretty much just a game of numbers.
