As has been said pretty much everywhere, Boston or LA. The only teams with the picks and prospects to get him out of there. I don't think he'll resign for that much money, but to stay in Atlanta I think he wanted the max. I would too.

Devils and Canucks now in the mix....

I am stunned you do not have him going to the leafs!!! I am sure Burke could find a first rounder in 2020 to give up!!!!

I don't make trades buddy..I only post the info...

Although I would give up a first rounder for him without even blinking

How about two?

Trades done! Kov to Toronto for Kaberle, Schenn, and seven 2nd rounders...Atlanta was looking for a forward but Toronto has none. Hot off the press. WOW total blindside

I am sorry I don't respond well to people who cheer for teams that got shut-out by the Coilers

Yep no doubt!

How? Gillis is loathe to give up picks or prospects, and I highly doubt he'd give them up for a rental player either. Add that to the fact Kovalchuk wants huge money if he did stay, I would have a hard time paying him more then the Sedin's who last time I checked are ahead of him in points. Can't see us being in the mix.

BUT...would you consider a sign and trade deal? Maybe throw back some rentals of our own in Demitra and add a Mayson Raymond + Schneider + a 2nd round Draft pick? I mean come on, the dude is a scoring machine and fairly durable too...Imagine the havoc he would wreak...on our SECOND LINE! Kovalchuk, Kesler and anybody = wow...I would love to have him on the Canucks. Just fantasizing about having another Bure type razzler dazzler

Is that a shut-out.?...I know they lost....they also lost 5-3 to the Canucks after being ahead 3-0....

Sad that you searched for that

 

[Captain Shamrock]

My NHL sources say he will end up in Philadelphia.


Go Flyers!

Yes, I would, but Don Waddell has came out and said no one can talk to Kovalchuk therefore nixing the sign and trade option. Plus why would they want Schneider? Atlanta actually has goaltending prospects so they wouldn't need more. It's the signing thing though, as he can't make more than the Sedin's, but if he'd sign for $5.5M, that would be amazing.

 

[between the pipes]

Sounds like the Devils....

 

[bergamascho]

Now here I am wondering how bonus incentives work with all the cap restrictions...could you pay someone X amount with an additional Y amount in bonuses not part of the cap hit should he meet certain criteria like scoring 40+ goals, 100+ points etc...Realistically I don't think the Canucks will get Kovalchuk but hey...never say never.

 

[bergamascho]

ESPN reporting the fcuking Devils have acquired him...FCUK! The rich just keep getting richer...
