Players Association Files Grievance for Kovalchuk Contract
WGR News Reporting
The NHL Players Association has filed a grievance on behalf of free agent forward Ilya Kovalchuk. The PA is disputing a ruling by the National Hockey league. Last week, the league nullified the New Jersey Devils' 17-year, $102 million contract given to Kovalchuk. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly stated that the contract circumvented the NHL salary cap.
An arbitrator will now rule on the outcome. Kovalchuk will either be rewarded the original 17-year contract or, once again, become a free agent. The Players Association had until 5 p.m. on Monday to file the grievance.

Time
The longest part of this process will be determining an arbitrator. Then the NHLPA can slap down a copy of the CBA and ask the NHL to point out where it states this deal circumvents it. Then when the NHL cant do that, the contract will stand, Kovalchuk will be a Devil and the league will see more of these contracts until its time to renegotiate a new CBA.
