It makes sense to reject such contracts, but at the same time something needs to be written in stone explaining what can and what can not be accepted. Another issue I have are previous contracts which were obviously circumventing the cap. Hossa, Zetterberg and Pronger come to mind.
I agree with the rejection, but the NHL just keeps proving that they are incredibly inconsistent on their rulings. Be it suspensions or in this case a free agent signing. They need to have clarity and they need to stand by them at all times.
Kovalchuck will appeal, this will be his only opportunity to reach this kind of money.
