| Report: Kovalchuk gets longest contract in NHL history | 07.19.10 at 3:24 pm ET |
Slowly, details of the new Ilya Kovalchuk contract are coming out and the effects of it are widespread throughout the league.
According to NHL insider Dmitry Chesnokov, Kovalchuk’s new deal with the Devils will be north of $100 million over 17 years, the longest contract in NHL history. This contract beats out the 15-year deal that former Boston University goalie Rick DiPietro signed with the Islanders in 2006.
Because of Kovalchuk re-signing with New Jersey, the Kings were agressively persuing Flyers forward Simon Gagne according to Hockey Buzz Ekland. That deal fell through and the Flyers have traded Gagne to the Lightning for Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick, according to Anthony SanFhilippo.
