Speculation: Kovalchuk's Market

[justafan22]

“That’s what Ilya Kovalchuk, as an example, is hoping to take advantage of. I believe the top contenders for Ilya Kovalchuk right now include the Vegas Golden Knights, even though they’re not as deep up the middle as maybe he would like. You look at the Boston Bruins, the L.A. Kings, and the San Jose Sharks. It seemed likely that Kovalchuk would make his decision before July 1, but if John Tavares hasn’t made his decision maybe it’s in the best interests of Kovalchuk to just sit back and wait.”

So Tavaras is holding up Kovalchuk, and Kovalchuk is holding up other trades.

I don't know who to be mad at. I don't know that I'm even mad. All I know is I want to see movement so that I can have something to talk about in summer when there is no hockey. I am indeed mad about that.

So, Kovy and JT to the Isles? cool.

Think he should go to San Jose or Boston. LA isn't nearly as close as they think they are and going to be very difficult for Vegas to repeat this past season. That's all assuming a main priority is a chance at winning.
