    Cool KHL president makes case against NHL contracts

    We will be able to call this the Kovalchuk Clause:

    Igor Kleyner‏@IgorKleyner

    "KHL pres Medvedev makes case that existing NHL contracts may not be binding because they are under new CBA, thus players may walk if chose"


    Igor Kleyner‏@IgorKleyner

    " looks like if players want to claim new CBA unilaterally alters their NHL contracts and want to void them KHL will go to battle for them"


    I cant find any direct links to a statement from Medvedev nor do i know anything about Igor Kleyner; either way it is another interesting twist in the Visnovsky and Kovy Saga's

    IIHF won't honor that. That's going to be the big slam against guys doing that. Kovalchuk is a lock for Sochi 2014. If he does this, he can't play. He wants to be there.

    once the players ratify the new cba, his argument dies...

    but man, wouldn't the devils be screwed if kovie didn't come back. they lose parise, then all of the bs with kovie and the fines and lost draft picks that came with it... now, if he stayed in russia. wow.

    i actually wouldn't care either way, but it would be a hard pill to swallow for the devils and their fans.

    This is an exciting development. Despite losing Parise, the hit the Devils took with their draft picks and fines would be the biggest burn of all NJ will experience if Kovy stays in the KHL. The IIHF opinion in regards to Olympic participation could weigh heavily into the outcome of any decicion a player makes on where to work.

    Is this a joke? Russians lecturing other people on rule of law?

    Now's your chance to buy low on Kovalchuk. I put the odds of him staying in Russia somewhere between the Fresh Prince finally beating Mike Tyson and my wife buying me the new Westinghouse 110" 4k TV that was just revealed at CES.

    I don't think his argument is a valid one. Perhaps it would be if the teams rolled back player salaries but they didn't. Kovalchuk's contract didn't change at all.
