The Ilya Kovalchuk saga just got a lot more interesting and it didn’t need a one-hour televised “decision” to spur the drama. No, all it needed was an obscene 17-year contract and a perturbed NHL fed up with lengthy, front-loaded deals that mock the salary cap.

For the first time in almost 17 years the Devils have changed their philosophy. There was no press conference or news release, no formal announcement or interview announcing it, but it’s written all over the 17-year contract that winger Ilya Kovalchuk signed today.
