That bum should stick to his Russian bush league...
Salaries in the KHL are going down and he's only looking to cash in. Player with zero taste and class.
His taste is not refined at all.

Kovalchuk is a washed up star looking to cash in on the NHL one last time.
I hope the Avs stay far, far away from him and that a team I like the least ends up signing him. So hears to Minnesota, Toronto, or Montreal signing him this summer
I'd be surprised if he's not an Islander on July 1.
He wants to play in New York. Check.
Wants A Chance To Win. Half A Check? Islanders have an upcoming team, and a better shot to win than Rangers or Sabres
Plus the Lou Lam Factor
Seems pretty down to earth to me and his interviews certainly don't echo your theory.
Ilya Kovalchuk: “Thank you for creating the KHL!”
Kovalchuk has always been a boss, the people hating him are the same morons who hated on Radulov before he came over
How do you suppose they figured out the goalie stuff ?Either way that could be a dominant top 6. Add in Faksa and if health allows Hanzal centering the bottom 6 the forward group would be rounding out nicely. Dallas could probably be a playoff team again with those moves now that they've figured out the goalie stuff.
Kings own his rights. He'd have to be traded to Washington.I hope he goes to the Caps because Russian. Also they could potentially make a new Russian 5 with one more dman ~ Voynov?

He'd be the Caps best defensemen if Carlson decides to leave in the Summer.Yes please.
Yeah having the guy that have already forced him in to retirement is such a plus.I'd be surprised if he's not an Islander on July 1.

Please tell me more...That bum should stick to his Russian bush league...

I agree. All the other players in the NHL play for free.That bum should stick to his Russian bush league...

Kovi is such a high risk play I can't wait to see which GM makes the mistake. Over 35, long injury list, hasn't been in the NHL for a few years and is asking for a huge deal. Thankfully for him NHL GMs are not very smart. I'd give him 6 on a 1 year deal but if he wants term I'm not going over 3.
Most reports are that he only wants 2 or 3.
To make it more clear if he wanted more than a 1 year deal I would not got over 3$m AAV. Guy is a massive risk and imo hasn't proved he's worth that kind of deal.
That is just incredibly wrong. Signing any player is a risk. You know Kovalchuk will score goals. Will it be 25 or 35? That's a good question. But far lesser and far less proven players have gotten better contracts than that. One only has to look at your own team (or any team) to see that.
Saying you wouldn't do more than 1 yr at 3m is the same thing as saying "I don't want this player on my team." Which is fine, but there's zero chance that wouldn't be topped by someone else.
Kings own his rights. He'd have to be traded to Washington.
He's Kings property until 2019-20 when his original contract expires.i am confused by this... why do people in this thread post stuff like 2years/per... while the real question should be what they would have to give up first. also the link in the op/dreger... did not mention that his rights are being owned by la.
Yeah, it annoys me to no end the crap that's spewed about him. All that matters is why he left (for his family) and how he left the organization (with the front office respect for him still intact). Fans are truly just fanatics and sometimes infants.
