Talking Kovalchuk Grievance Hearing

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice, A source said this afternoon that a system arbitrator has been ageed upon by the NHL and the NHL Players? Association to rule on the grievance over Ilya Kovalchuk?s rejected, 17-year, $102 million contract.

The source did say that the objective is for the matter to be settled by the end of next week, though. So, you can probably guess that the hearing will take place early next week?possibly Monday or Tuesday. continued
