True. We still have a Sniper in Franzen. It could be worse I suppose.

People are hoping he'll sign here for $6M per year, eh? That equates to about what, $4M per year after taxes? How about $14M per year, tax free, to play in your home country and be close to family?

SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL offered Kovalchuk a $42 million, three-year deal in early June, according to a report in the Russian newspaper Sport-Express. He has not signed the deal. (Jun 24)

$14 million tax free? He should take the money. He's still young enough that he could come back to the NHL in the future to chase Cup dreams.

I never would understand why people of his caliber would not want to play the best. In the best league. I have no doubt that if he stays here it will be for more than $6 mil.

Thanks TeeMan!

Absolutely. Right after Steve comes out of retirement and slaps the Winged Wheel back on. It'll be any day now.

Not unless we unload some key pieces... Not worth it at that rate anyway.
