Before the week is over a lot of dominos will be falling. LA will either sign Stempniak or trade for Gagne, or somehow acquire a winger. NYI will have to start picking up big contracts to reach the cap floor. Maybe even Regier can get in on some player movement.

It will be interesting to see how NJ gets under the cap.

NJ has 19 players inked to just under $56M against the cap BEFORE re-signing Kovy.

Kovalchuk's mother tells Pavel Lysenkov of Sovetsky Sport that Kovalchuk's deal with #NJD is for 17 years.


It will be interesting to see what the numbers end up being.

I wonder if the first 10 years are for $10M per like Kovy wanted and the last 7 are to bring down the cap hit as much as possible.

Yeah, the league was pissed off enough at the Pronger and Hossa deals that ran that long for no reason other than to dump the cap hit down. If this 17 year deal is true, it should generate enough outrage to get that loophole fixed.

It is also confirmed by the NY Post, that the Devils offered him that type of deal
