no thank you, we'll keep Kovalchuk

Wouldn't Kovalchuk's contract with 1 million remaining years be enforced?
.

No. That contract was voided.

Would rather see if Pitlick has another year in him then giving a contract to Kovy. Kovy only plays for Kovy, dude is a total me-first loser.

 

[Draiskull]

If EDM gets Kovy it would be just on a 1yr deal and will be paying the price accordingly. NJ will find a better return elsewhere.

 

[ScottyK]

I don't see him coming back in a olympic year. It's a play to get SKA to pay up for 1 more year before he comes back no strings attached for 2018-2019.

 

[Mike27Devils]

I'm not sure if anyone said this but it would have to be a sign and trade. Wouldn't be able to trade his rights apparently.

Cap still says no, from Edmonton's perspective.

Draisaitl this year, and McDavid next are the priority.
