Rumors are numerous about a potential return to the NHL for Ilya Kovalchuk. After playing a few years in the NHL, he's interested in coming back to the big show and, most likely, make the big bucks.

However, one important problem needs to be resolved first. For Kovalchuk to come back in the NHL, he has to sign a contract with the team he quit to get to the KHL. The New Jersey Devils are apparently interested to do just that. 



This is huge for Kovalchuk. If the Devils had refused to discuss terms with him, the 29 other teams would have needed to accept Kovalchuk's return in the league. It's only after that vote that he could have signed a new contract with any team he liked. 

We will follow this one closely for sure!
