Orgo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Wait wait wait. Tell me I'm reading this wrong. If you retire TWELVE years before your contract is up, you still get paid for those 12 years? That can't be right.Seems like he forfeits the balance of his contract, but the Devils are penalized $250K until 2025, according to capgeek.

The_Admiral Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That'll teach them for signing a guy to a big contract and then having him flake out and retire after two years. Docking them $250,000 a year for 12 years should really "recapture" the benefits the Devils stole. Because they stole so much, having some guy bail on them like this. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I never trusted Kovalchuk, what a terrible move getting him will turn out to be for the Devils, they should have used the money they gave him and put it toward keeping Zach Parise. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Correction/Update: I was right (sort of). They don't have to pay his salary, but they will have $250K a year counted against the cap for the duration of the contract (until 2024-25).Can't they just pay their 250k penalties in a few swift payments for a few years, by using up the free cap space? To get it over with as fast as they could... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 So the KHL is undergoing rapid, far-flung expansion, overpaying for stars, and running without a salary cap? Well, this ought to get fun in the next few years.Will we have a Donbass Donetsk relocation thread? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda defeats the purpose of punishing teams because of the contracts they hand out if they can pay them in bigger lump-sums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUELANDbeliever Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My all time favorite Kovalchuk moment. Gonna miss him. He was my favorite player growing up. He carried the team, QB'd the powerplay, he did it all. Never blamed him for leaving ATL. Wish you the best Chuk. BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.Hockey is weird and I love it.

Orgo Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Not to mention a Marc Savard sighting. Poor dude.Fleury's yellow pads are loud, even in 240p. I was glad to see Turco wearing those mustards for that brief Bruins stint and Curtis Sanford with that weird-ass shade of blue to match the Beej alts.
