They need all 30 GMs to approve this. If you're a rival team, why would you ever let the Devils get him back.
I gave Parise shit for the same reason as Kovy...HE LEFT FOR $$$ a $10 million signing bonus PAID RIGHT BEFORE THE LOCKOUT! which was $10 million more than anyone else offered him. Yeah he left for familyyeah i would take him back easily.
no one cried when nieds left for family or parise left for family. why hate on kovy for leaving because of money and playing home in his country? heck to me he is the most "honest" person ever playing for the money.
also this whole "retire" thing was probably a deal in place by the nhl beek/new owners/lou. the new guys probably didn't want to take on that massive contract.
if that was the case the joke is on the new owners. 2 straight no shows in the playoffs and all that lost playoff $$$$$ with probably another miss next year.
as far as him being healthy and helpful to this lineup? if a 43 year old jagr could lead this team 2 years in a row i wonder how much kovy could help this horrible roster.
I'm pretty sure it was $20 mil, two $10 mil bonuses setup in a way to both pay him during the lockout. I remember the Wild having financial issues since they paid out $40 mil to the him and Suter despite them not playing.
He still has a house in Alpine, so there's that.
that house still isn't done? typical jersey construction i guess.
i never buy that "going home" crap either. i'm sure the devils offer was close to 100 million. so really if your that homesick then move your entire family to jersey you have enough money.
just like i dont buy the nieds leaving to go play with his brother crap. why not stay here and have lou trade for your brother? your telling me once you signed with the devils burke at the time wouldn't move rob? why would he keep him your committed to jersey? the only reason he didn't deal him when lou wanted was because scott was going to be a ufa.
thats why i never hated on holik or gomez. they made it clear it was about the money and didn't lead on that they were staying.
neids and parise dragging their feet and their misleading comments about staying forced lou to keep them (wrong imo) and cost him valuable time in the ufa market. just look at the contracts given to malakov (remember he cost us a 1st round pick) mcgillis mogilny or ryder brunner clowe (who is a recation to clarkson leaving)
