Ilya Kovalchuk apparently had his contract with the Devils reinstated. This is terrible news in my opinion, as Bettman has plenty of evidence to show a clear violation because Kovy will retire long before the contract expires.
Apparently the source was wrong about Ilya Kovalchuk. Apparently the arbitrator ruled in favour of the NHL. The article is from the Toronto Sun: http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2010/08/09/14970501.html.
