Here’s Puck Daddy’s Dmitry Chesnokov with the details:
Kovalchuk $102m over 17 years. $10m per year for the first 8 years. $7.5 for the next 2, from what I heard.
That would make the contract for $95 million over the first 10 years, and $7 million over the final seven. Its a fairly obvious sham, but whatever, says this Devils fan! I’ll have more later.

Year three in doubt
This has to be the strangest long term contract I have ever seen. First of all I don’t believe Kovalchuk will be a Devil by year three. The reason I say this is, the first two years are so cheap. A more obvious Lou like move. Kovalchuk gets his 100 million and New Jersey gets a star player for two years at a low salary cap hit as well as a low actual salary for what I believe is going to be the only two years he’s a Devil. Just my thoughts based on past Devil deals.
