Given Kovalchuk has obviously not retired, one could argue that he filed the papers fraudulently in a brazen attempt at escaping/violating his contract.
However, you're missing the point. I was responding to the thought that the league might be bending over backwards for the Devils because New Jersey thinks the league could have done more to stop Kovalchuk from bolting. You're only arguing my point that there was very little the league could have done.
