You've got us all convinced, now if you could only reach Bettman.

No pending UFA will ever stay in Atanta if he has other options. As for Bettman, who cares they guy has ruined anything resembling hockey of the early 90's.

Kovalchuk will sign for prob 8.5 in a place like LA, NYR, even a place like Edmonton or Colorado.

I don't think he's worth that, but I will point out that he's hit 52 twice and he had 98 points in 78 games in 2005-2006. There's only so much he could have done in regards to the other two awards.

The consensus seems to be that he wants to be in a market that isn't too crazy/privacy-invading but that has a chance to win. Atlanta's definitely good for the first one, and with Bogosian, Enstrom, Kane, Little, Pavelec plus guys like Peverley, Kozlov, Afinogenov etc. I would have thought he'd recognize the potential in that group.

Maybe he just wants out of Atlanta.

How will anyone ever know if he has what it takes to perform in the playoffs though? He certainly didn't last time - and now he wants to be the top paid player in the league? Hmmm... that doesn't jive with me personally, but hey, more power to him (go West nerd).

Haha guys, he doesnt want to be the top paid player in the league! He never has, he wants out of Atlanta and it's his call.

Why not just say that then, why tell Waddell that he's interested in staying?

PR? He wants to leave he doesnt want to through the organization under the bus. It's never been about money.

What he's doing is perfect, keeping his mouth shut and moving on. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah but when he signs for way less on another team in the summer (because let's face it, he's not gonna make more than OV), everybody will know he didn't want to stay in ATL.
Whether he says it or not, no difference IMO.

If it is the Devils good for them, but I don't see this as great of a situation for Kovalchuk. I really thought the Rangers on this one......

They did. Again I want to ask... where's this so called veto power by Bettman? If it exists and he is prepared to use it to prevent Tampa from trading Vinny, why not save Atlanta's franchise player?
