<p>As reported by TSN's <a href="http://twitter.com/darrenDreger" target="_blank">Darren Dreger</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>TSN says a deal between the NHL and the PA has been reached and they're working on paper work for 5pm.</p>
<p>Kovalchuk deal will also get approved as part of the new global settlement.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>What this essentially means is that Kovalchuk will get his 15-Year, $100 million contract with New Jersey. We'll have more as 5PM ET rolls around. For now, this song feels appropriate.</p>
