08/09/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - An arbitrator has ruled in favor of the NHL in regard to Ilya Kovalchuk's contract with the New Jersey Devils.
The Devils signed the free agent sniper to a 17-year, $102 million contract in mid-July and the league subsequently rejected the deal on grounds that it circumvented the salary cap. The NHL Players Association quickly filed a grievance, saying the contract conformed to the current collective bargaining agreement.
Monday's announcement by arbitrator Richard Bloch means the deal becomes void and Kovalchuk again becomes an unrestricted free agent. The Devils and the Russian superstar's agent, though, can try to tweak the parameters of the deal and re-submit it to the NHL.
As a result of the decision, and under the terms of the current collective bargaining agreement, the league can fine the Devils up to $5 million and eliminate future draft picks.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
