dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 If Eklund posted it, then it holds about as much water as the notion of Brett Lebda winning the Norris. Not knocking you, but I wouldn't take anything Eklund posts seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 C'mon now, that's insulting to dice. very funny, yet sadly true... considering dice will win 1 in 6. Eklund is 1 and 50? 1 and 100? Good points. thats why i said take it for what its worth, but c'mon his posts can be pretty funny at times His posts are funny to us, but just imagine how funny they must be to an NHL GM.

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Obviously Detroit cannot get him this season, and whoever trades for him will in all likely hood sign him to a long term deal next season. Calgary should consider trading Phaneuf for Kovy. I think they could get it done. Throw in some draft picks, maybe another roster player. Calgary needs a scorer, and they don't need an overrated defense men. Calgary probably won't make the play-offs if they don't make a big move, but imagine a Jokinin, Kovy, Iginla in their top 6 forwards, Bowy and the Kipper. They'd win the Cup, probably...

They are having huge struggles on offense right now and Kovy would definitely help them out. I can see it happening. I would not be surprised to see him land in LA. The Kings have a lot of youth to trade, but will Lombardi be up the making the big splash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LA could be absolutely lethal with the addition of Kovy (assuming Doughty's development continues to rocket upwards). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedFX 48 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 Can someone tell me how in the blue hell Chicago still has cap space? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bconnan 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 Can someone tell me how in the blue hell Chicago still has cap space? The idea is that they move Campbell, Sharp or Huet in return for Kovalchuk. Kovy obviously wouldn't re-sign, it would purely be the ultimate playoff run. Brian Burke apparently said earlier today that the number for Kovalchuk being floated around is 10 years, 85 million. Which puts him in the realm of possibility IF Lidstrom retires and Filppula is traded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last thing this team needs is a 10 year contract on the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here Atlanta, you take this garbage everyone in the league knows I'm despirate to unload after I made laughably poor signing decisions. In exchange I'll take the best player who's ever played for your team. What's that, you're one of the most cap concious teams in the league? Don't worry, my grossly overpaid trash is great and you'll enjoy taking it off me. Sure. If Chicago is going to unload Campbell or Huet onto another team they'll have to pay in picks or prospects and take an expiring contract going the other way. Everyone in the league knows they're despirate to move those two bloated contracts and there are 29 other GMs who could care less about Chicago's cap situation aside from how they'll profit from it. Sharp? That's a more reasonable suggestion. No pair him with some other roster players and or picks because Kovalchuk will not be had for just one good young player.

Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 I don't see Washington getting him while keeping Greene/Semin. Chicago will be parting with Kane for Kovy. I see Calgary definitely being a chance, but Boston seems more likely to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingedKitten 9 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 I'd like to see him traded to some team in the East. Then the Wings will beat that team in the finals, and in the off season he will sign with us for 6.7 million. Don't ask me where I got that from... these things just come to me.
