NJ Devils: Sweden West
Report: Ilya Kovalchuk wants to return to NHL (with Devils or not)
Looks like he wants back into the NHL. Have to admit that there were some seriously hurt feelings when he left. That was a tough 13 months (Parise, Kovy, Clarkson)..
However, the Devils did dodge a serious bullet by unloading his initial contract..
Apparently if he signs with the Devils there is no need for the other teams to approve. If he goes to another team, all 30 need to approve him.. Devils hold all the chips. Worst case and he doesn't want to play here, they can orchestrate a sign and trade..
