1 hour agoD-Day: Part Deux for Kovalchuk contract
Hockey Blog | ESPN New York — No, you’re not experiencing déjà vu. It’s Decision Day Deadline Day for Ilya Kovalchuk and the Devils, when the league and the NHL Players Association will might announce a verdict on the Kovy contract and other long-term deals under scrutiny by the NHL. Or they could delay the decision. Again. The only certainty is that, by 5 p.m. Friday, the league will announce something about the status of its negotiations with the NHLPA concerning the future treatment of long-term contracts.

7 hours agoAnother decision day for Devils, Kovalchuk on contract
New York Post — The suspense thriller that is the Ilya Kovalchuk saga reaches yet another deadline this afternoon. They've meant little so far, but time is running short in this case. As reported exclusively by Larry Brooks in The Post yesterday, the NHL is tying approval of Kovalchuk's 15-year, $100 million...
11 hours agoThe NHL's biggest bargain players
Hockey Blog | ESPN New York — It seems fitting that with a $100 million contract waiting in limbo for Ilya Kovalchuk, a pair of articles discuss the idea of value in today’s salary-capped NHL. Yesterday, ESPN’s E.J. Hradek provided his All-Bargain Team (Insider), which was headlined by Devils winger Zach Parise. Parise’s production has been huge relative to his salary, but the Devils won’t enjoy that disparity for much longer as his contract expires at the end of this season. In fact, if the Kovalchuk contract goes through, they might not enjoy his production at all. But that’s another topic ...

Hockey Blog | ESPN New York — If you didn’t already know, today’s a (the?) big day for the Devils in their quest to retain Ilya Kovalchuk. I’ll have a separate post on that matter shortly, but for those fans whose interests lie outside of Prudential Center, here are the morning links. Islanders NHL.com sat down with Doug Weight for a Q&A following yesterday's announcement that he'll be back in blue and orange. The chat includes the reason for the 75-plus day delay between the news of his return first breaking and the actual contract being signed. Here's an early look at how the Islanders project in ...
12 hours agoEnd near for Kovalchuk saga (Or is it?)
Hockey Blog | ESPN New York — By 5 p.m. ET today we’ll finally have a verdict from the NHL regarding Ilya Kovalchuk’s latest contract. While the ruling will bring closure to this chapter of the seemingly endless saga of Kovalchuk’s free agency, the fallout will just be beginning. If the contract is approved, it will start a chain reaction of roster moves so the Devils can shed approximately $3 million in salary cap space to get under the NHL’s $59.4M ceiling. If the contract is denied, the NHL Players Association will have five days to -- again -- file for arbitration on behalf of Kovalchuk. Shou...
12 hours agoAnother deadline approaches for Devils, Kovalchuk, NHL and NHLPA
Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — There have been so many deadline days during the Ilya Kovalchuk saga, I’ve lost track. We’ve got another one coming on Friday. The question is, will it be the last? After the NHL and NHL Players’ Association mutually agreed to a 48-hour pushback of Wednesday’s 5 p.m. deadline for the league to approve or reject Kovalchuk’s 15-year, $100 million contract with the Devils, the new deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday. We went through this drill a couple of days ago, but now we know the stakes are much broader than just a decision on Kovalchuk’s contract. The NHL and the NHLPA have been negotiating to m...

- How Biron improves Blueshirts for playoffs Hockey Blog | ESPN New York A few days back, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist said the acquisition of backup netminder Martin Biron would be huge in helping him stay fresh for the playoffs. Whether the Blueshirts can get back to the second season is another issue, but his assessment about regular-season heavy lifting and playoff fall-off is right on the money. For the past two seasons, ESPN Insider has teamed with Puck Prospectus to serve up a Hot Goalie Index heading into the playoffs. The idea was to see if we could find a way to predict which goalies were most likely to stand on their head and steal a series. The form...
