You just know the Hawks will somehow get him.

What needs to be determined in all of this - what does NJ want for Kovalchuk?

Also, how does the NHL justify NJ still owning his rights? The NHL relieved NJ of Kovalchuk's terrible contract - they wiped it from the books, so how is it that NJ still gets compensated for his return while not realizing any negative cap implications from the contract that they signed him to and subsequently weaseled out of? Bush league.
