Ilya Kovalchuk will reportedly be late to Devils camp

This really shouldn't bother Devils fans. However, this should.

Zach Parise will not be at Devils' camp.

Wow this is shocking, he is playing in an all-star game in Russian on Sunday and camp starts on Sunday. I thought he was going to play in the game, call Superman have him fly around the earth to set back time, then get to Devils camp on time.

What will be the excuse Devils fans use now that 1 of their premiere players went somewhere else, again ??

We don't have excuses, some great players go, some stay. Players like Gomez and Holik chased the money. Players like Rafalski, Parise and Nieds either went home to play or play with their family. NOthing every other team doesn't go through. 5 Finals appearances in less then 2 decades with a sprinkle of cups in there says Lou's philosophy, while maddening, works. Good thing for the Devils is, Lou finds a way.

Since this is comment number 2929 for me and I'm represented by Ken Dryden I'll take this time to say that due to the ridiculous signings made by the Minnesota Wild, the only person I'm really pulling for on that club is goaltender Josh Harding...

Didn't they have an Elias Ilya thread yesterday on this same thing.
Ilya staying for KHL game

When your agent said there's an offer from Sather and the Rangers 5-10 years ago you'd be an idiot not to listen

Ouch! Did you have to rub it in, Canuck? That's cruel and unusual punishment.
