See I just really want this to play out like some spy-games shit where people are actively trying to kidnap Kovalchuk and bring him to New Jersey while the Russian government tries to stop them.

Not permanently of course but for the course of the current season absolutely, its not fair that the NHL gets to yank players back against their will just because they finally decided to stop being a$$holes and have a season. I think it should be up to the player which contract he honors for the season if either of his leagues abandon him
these deals were signed with out clauses

these teams knew they were only getting these players for as long as the lockout lasted

its bullshit grandstanding nothing more

kovalchuk had a chance to go to the khl when he was a ufa

you're completely missing the point...the players just want to play hockey (they wanna get paid too but that's semi-irrelevant, both leagues can pay) and the fans want to watch hockey. So why does the NHL get to be the big dick while behaving like, well, the big dick?

See I always assumed that Bettman's behaviour was the result of what he was lacking rather than what he was packing.

Fair's got nothing to do with this. Kovalchuk has a legal obligation. He signed a long term deal, so honour it. Lockout is just an excuse.

im not missing the point at all

the khl isnt doing this out of the goodness of their hearts because they feel nhl players are being treated unfairly they are doing it because like the capitalist pigs in the west they are trying to line their pockets with as much money as they possibly can as well

its a sham its a way to thump their chests and say how they stood up to the imperialist americans

I hear you, but what honour is there in this day and age? The NHL sure as hell didn't show any to we, the fan, during this process. At the end of the day, I'm sure he'll return to the best league in the world.

The difference is that the NHL has no legal obligation to the fans. If the players are viewed as cattle then what are the fans viewed as? Cattle feed, that is all.
