Here's yet another interesting opinion on all the speculation and heresay that we have been fed so far.:deadhorse:

I usually agree with Quisp but he is way off base here. You don't need a contract provision giving authority to amend a contract.

You are correct about amending the contract. You don't need to read the article.

Dreger on TSN:

An amendment to the CBA and the fate of Ilya Kovalchuk's contract are tied together, so it's conceivable, the NHL will postpone its decision, or flat out reject the Devils latest offer until a more concise framework of what teams, players and player agents can and cannot do is agreed on.

The NHL and the NHLPA had productive discussions on Thursday regarding potential changes to the rules that govern players contracts, however, at this point, it seems unlikely the two sides will reach a settlement, complete with a vote from the PA's 30 player board in time for todays 5pm deadline to determine the validity of Kovalchuk's proposed contract with the New Jersey Devils.

The two sides will continue to negotiate throughout the day in an effort to reach a settlement.

Dreger: Kovalchuk decision could potentially be postponed

Exactly. Just pure logic here. Imagine two people enter into a contract and later want to change it. How stupid would the law be if it said they couldn't? Hell, there's nothing preventing the NHL and the NHLPA from scrapping the old CBA and signing an entirely new CBA today if both were so inclined.

That's what I thought.

According to sources at TSN, it's all done, the PA and the league have agreed to terms in regards to long term contracts and Kovi is once again a devil.
