Big bucks for 2 years to Kovalchuk carries literally no risk for NYR. They'll have ample cap space for at least that long, and at the end they can move him for a pick if they're still not competing. Plus he can help Rykov and Shestyorkin come over as he's played with both in Russia a bunch.Personally If the Rangers are going to throw big bucks at a UFA I would much prefer they kick the tires on J.Tavares
Tavares is going to get more per year and a ton more term. Not a fan of him coming to NYR with where the team is right now.
