I voted LW! I don't care if we're winning!! I just want to see Kovy go into the super-duper "beast mode" I just know in my heart he can go on, but only if he's on the LW, and score 97 goals!!!
I voted LW, but I don't really care. I'm more bummed with the fact that Pete makes out like it's an ''Under no circumstances'' move for Kovy to play on the LW at any time. If we somehow get something going with a player who can move to the RW on Kovy's line, I don't see what's wrong with moving Kovy back to LW.
Because his defense has improved considerably, he's starting to help out comfortably on the breakouts and he's back checking better than ever.
Well-rounded Kovy is best at RW. And he can still score. So... I'd leave it alone.
the last year argument doesn't work for me. remember his linemates? different year.
and the whole "he roams, he moves over" etc doesn't work for me either. WHY would you not want him on the left ALL THE TIME? let him play a simple game, up and down the left. why make him roam and leave his man potentially open on the right.
with that said, I'll ignore the thread. I think I've been annoyingly verbose on the subject

You don't want him in the lane the whole time because north south hockey loses games.

RW people!
When they transition to offense it doesnt matter what side he is on because he is all over the place, but he is better defensively on the right side in our own zone and thats what counts.
I think putting Kovalchuk on the Right was more about taking him out his comfort zone to change his overall play personally. At this point I don't think it matters where he plays. On the PK and most of the PP he is on the left side anyway.

Are you coming around to him at all yet?
pretty much.
