That's the thing though, it's still an assumption. Not sure how you can make a legal case on "I think. . ."

I don't know, maybe arbitrators are there FOR that. Maybe they aren't looking to see if something was legally violated, but instead that it's not "right". Someone with more experience than me would probably be better at this. Just feels weird that a contract that has absolutely nothing violating the CBA, that pays a player to a younger age than a guy who just retired this year, and is only two years longer than a contract given out last year is not ok.

whatever merge nazi moved this thread...how can you not think this is relevant to the kings again.

As someone mentioned before,now on to Chapter 6 of the Kovy to sign somewhere again thread.And the saga begins again.

On NHL.com right now
Reports: Arbitrator rules in NHL's favor - NHL Free Agency 2010

Can you imagine if we sign him the same day Gretzky was traded?

The Return of the Kings!!!

It kinda makes TOO much sense...

I'm just lmao at all these rumor websites/sources that guessed wrong. Can't even get a 50/50 right, some "sources".

Going back to my original prediction, though...NHL slap on the wrist, NJ submits new contract, signed, approved.
