Diddle that then, we'll take our chances getting someone like him on the open market. Although, I know where you're coming from, Kovalchuk might be top 5 league-wide in terms of raw talent. Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin...4th even.

In terms of goal scoring and drive, I think he is better than Crosby.

the other day i was mentoning that the only time i talked of trading spezza was part of a package for a re-sign kovalchuk. so i agree with you on that one, but i doubt those type of players come up often and it todays NHL they get traded at the deadline with a new contract in hand.

Pfft. Spezza for Kovalchuk? Where the heck do I sign? No takebacks either, once it's done you can kiss my arse.

That's funny. When was the last time a team owned a 1st and 2nd overall pick of a draft?

Not too mention he's twice the player Heatley is.

With that being said, we'll bow out like fools.

If he reaches July 1...all bets are off. It'll be nutty.

i dout murray goes the distance cash wise for him uness melnyk puts the order in.

what's the league maximum now $/lenght? did they enforce anything on 7 year contracts yet?

They haven't done anything, you can make it a 15 year if you want. They keep saying they'll investigate, but they can't really.

minny likes a gamble, latendresse worked out for them(much to my surprise).
i just hope we don't make a play for an old dog standing on one leg with a couple of years left on his contract...

Sykora has one year (this year) at 1.6, so it would cost us 800K. Mmmm...that's so little money for a proven goal scorer. Sign me up!

Thinking Good question. Vancouver had the 2nd and 3rd for the Sedins...that's all I can think of.

Seriously though, If I could convert Kovalev's 5M + Chechoo's 3 into Kovalchuk's 9M on free agency, which wouldn't even happen in a dream...

Michalek - Spezza - Kovalchuk
Fisher - Regin - Alfredsson
Oh my...

That's what I'm saying. Take a risk Melnyk and Murray. Waive Cheechoo and Kovalev if you have to. No one would really say anything at all. And suddenly...Alfie has a chance at a Cup here (as a player).

HA! Melnyk to approve waiving Cheechoo AND Kovalev? Not a chance... $8M out the door... after $4M went to Heatbag for nothing.

Quite true. Just let me be blinded by the sexyness of having Kovalchuk. Sad

Doug Maclean was talking about how he could see Cullen ending up in Ottawa.

The more I think about it, the more that sounds fairly reasonable. For who though? Lee?
