Datsyuk in KHL All Star Game as well

[lucifer316]

Fine. But the lockout will still have ended before this Sunday's All-Stars Game in KHL. Thus Kovy will have legal obligation to NHL and New Jersey Devils and his deal in the KHL will have expired as it was done only for the duration of the lockout.

then its up to the team if they want to suspend him or not

but again this is irrelevant to the way its being reported which has been my gripe

it isnt being reported that kovy is playing in the all star game without permission

its being reported that since kovy hasnt come back to new jersey it means he doesnt intend to fulfill his contract with the devils

datsyuk hadnt come back either and that article you post is from yesterday well after reports about kovalchuck staying put have come out

yet not a word about datsyuk staying over there prior to that

why is that is what i want to know

Kovy has given comments like "it can't be ruled out" when asked about staying in KHL even after then lockout ends. That's why it's being reported that way. As far as I know Datsyuk hasn't given such a comments?

Besides I believe Malkin is still in Russia too. But he hasn't given any indication of nothing coming back in time for camp so what's there to report about that? Just like with Datsyuk.

again kovy is doing what all foreign players do when home say shit to get the hometown fans excited about possibilities

every time a players does this everyone acts like they have never heard it before

i cant speak to malkin but if he is still over there it should be reported as well

if all of these guys got together to discuss their future the reports of them not being back here yet should all be treated equally as far as i am concerned

I thought the real issue was the Kovy wants to stay in the KHL for THE REST OF THE SEASON. It's not about the All-Star game, it's about the KHL/NHL season.
