Didn't know a player could break a contract like this to play in khl
Sure thing it's gonna heat up the tension between nhl and khl


NJ GM signed off on it, so they're not going to prevent him playing at home

Ilya Kovalchuk has submitted his "voluntary retired list" paperwork with the NHL/NHLPA signed by Lou Lamoriello. So it is official.


Can't keep a guy in a country if he doesn't want to be here.

Yes, but just like you can leave your job, he can leave his. But it does suck and it stings.


Remember that the #devils have to forfeit their first-round pick next season because of the Ilya Kovalchuk contract.

"Defection" from the nhl is addressed in the cba as being synonymous with retirement. Still that's crazy.

Players retire from the NHL all the time, teams don't block it.


Yeah, it's a different situation 'cause he's still relatively young and elite but how would it benefit the Devils if they said no? He'd just sit out and nobody will want to trade for him lol

Do the devils have to pay him his full salary every year until his contract is up?

no, both sides agreed on terminating the contract, however, they still own the rights
