    Arbitrator Richard Bloch's ruling to side with the NHL on voiding Ilya Kovalchuk's contract on Monday could affect other such front-ended hockey contracts.

    Canucks general manager Mike Gillis confirmed to the Vancouver Sun via email late Monday night that the league is still looking into Roberto Luongo's 12-year contract that was signed last fall.

    "We have complied with the NHL request for information and are awaiting further instructions," Gillis told The Sun. "Cannot say anything further at this point."

    Reports back in September indicated that the league was checking into the contracts of Luongo, Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger, Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard and Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa. Bloch's ruling specifically mentioned that the league is still investigating those deals.

    This is going to get very interesting since all of these players have already played a full year under contract.

    The NHL is opening up Pandora's Box. They had better be prepared for the consequences.

    Is not only hossa who played the first year off the BIG contract??? Prongers starts this year for sure, I think luongos too, not sure about savard, so the NHL can still cancel those contracts!!! It will be very interesting to c what will they do with hossas as he already played(and won a cup) with his 12 year deal!!!
