I just dont get why Devils are able to get rid of Kovy's cap hit. My understanding is that you can't just 'terminate' a contract because situation came up.
btw I dont have any problem Kovy playing in russia this coming season. Though he royally screwed Devil's over and fellow Russian players in NHL as well. Why would teams want to commit to a russian player now? I sure as hell would look for players from other nation if options are available.
This is the default provision, it is part of all NHL contracts. If a player defaults on the contract (fails to show up and play) the team can terminate the contract and the cap hit is wiped out.
