Confirmed with Link: Ilya Kovalchuk Feigns Retirement to go to KHL, Part II

[hlaverty06]

So I just realized that Marty is probably going to retire in 10 or 11 months.

Patty really is the last of the true Devils.

What about Volchenkov

 

[Devils Trap]

I would be put on suicide watch if some GM offer sheeted Henrique right about now

 

[hlaverty06]

Angry GIF party

 

[Emperoreddy]

gaaaah and to think i was reading threads last night talking about using those chants

Patty's better chants. Lots and lots of them.

Why? We would match it.

I'd sprinkle in some "**** you Kovy" for good measure

just flows too good

Hey hey now!


Who knows what Marty will do after next season.

Let's all of us worry about that when it comes.


For now, Marty is here THIS YEAR. Let's all focus on that and worry about the other stuff at a later date.

Jesus Christ no.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Lou already said he will match any offer sheet

 

[billingtons ghost]

So, I'm going to have to tell my 8 yr old kid, who I dragged to an autograph signing wearing his Kovy shirt to meet the guy - and who asks every 5 seconds while watching a game 'Is Kovy on the ice? Did he score?' that his idol just up and split.

I really can't believe it. I might not be able to watch any Devils games next year nor go to any games again simply on the basis that I don't think I can face my own kid and look him in the eye and try to explain this.

He might get the homesick part, but geez.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Still cannot get over it. Confused, angry...Put me in such a ****** mood. I'll be getting trashed tonight as well

 

[JK3]

Gee, how will we replace those 2 PP goals he had last year?

 

[glenwo2]

Lou already said he will match any offer sheet

Will the Rags do the "Dick move" and offer Henrique a BOATLOAD of money just to get Lou to match it?

 

[hlaverty06]

In some weird way this is how I feel right now

 

[Just Win]

Gif party time

They need to worry about their own cap situation

We would just do that to Stepan then

Holy crap, man! What the heck do you tell your son now?

Do you say "Sorry son but it seems that Kovy cares more about MONEY than the team you root for"?

 

[Saugus]

I saw this at work and was useless for the rest of the day because I was so pissed. This makes no ****ing sense to me. Is there any further explanation for why beyond Kovy just saying he wants to go to Russia?

It's really getting ridiculous how often we lose our star players. And this is a guy we assumed would be here for a while.

 

[DevilChuk*]

Gonna go hit up the liquor store before they sell out

 

[yehyeh]

Bought a case and ALMOST didn't go to my night class tonight. But I need better things to think about than this ********...

 

[Jersey Mike]

Ok so Uncle Lou now has 10mil to play with. On to the next era.

 

[NJD Kula]

So can the Devils keep their pick now?

Hell, a guy who we figured we, at the very worse case, had stuck here because of his contract.

The thought of him just upping and leaving honestly never even crossed my mind.
