GoPuckYourself Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I've always been a big fan of Kovalchuck, he's a hard worker, a goal scorer and seems like a decent dude from what I read. Many people think he abandoned the Devils but he was offered around the same money to play closer to home, can't say I fault anyone for that. Any possible way he'd want to come here and play with the youngins? Is he strickly going to play for a Stanley Cup caliber team? Would we have the cap to sign him? All I know is that he'd be an upgrade to Kane imo. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Nope, he is going to the Islanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 The way he left, hope all 31 teams say no to him returning. No, I'd say that I hope he somehow cons a multi-year contract out of Boston or Toronto and then quickly bails on them, sticking them with the cap hit.

Doohickie Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 So who is the Jagr, the Hossa, the ageless vet that the Sabres should target? Vanek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no escape this time other than LTIR. So that's why he needs to bail on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 James Neal I'd love to have him, but you wouldn't call him and "ageless vet." He's still a star in his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 This seems to be a non-starter. If a 35 year old Kovalchuk comes back to the NHL, unless he is desparate for money, there is no way he'd choose the worst team in the league as his destination.

sabills Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I feel like the Kovalchuck lottery is a little less Mega Millions and a little more Shirley Jackson. Also, this is what google wants to correct Kovalchuck to: Edited May 31, 2018 by sabills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hopefully the Sabres have no interest in him at all. I really don't want a 35 year old winger on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Yeah I'm not real keen on them but I thought the piece was fitting I always liked Kovy and thought his rep wasn't fair. He always killed the Sabres, anyway. He does have 19 pts in 23 playoff games and gone to a SCF since we've been to the playoffs. He's only 35 and hands don't age like feet. If the price was right, i'd take him on the Sabres. Plus, he's what started the whole "there's just no place on the Sabres for a 40 goal scorer." We need closure.
