Devs4LIFE Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) just said the Devils are in on Kovalchuk.....so this rumor appears to be false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Anyone know if Potvin has a twitter account ? If he does, I wonder how often it gets bombarded by Rangers fans telling him he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate)'s post on HB is hilarious... he posts it like he heard it and then puts: Added: Apparently Denis Potvin mentioned this possibility on XM this morning as well. lol what a tool.

Devils731 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 There seemed to be a lot of buzz that the Devils were really close to getting Hossa until Pitt stepped in so it seems like ATL and NJ like to talk about soon to be UFA wingers.

DevilMinder Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well thats the end of this rumor. Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) just announced it had truth. Damn, oh well. /end thread P.S. That accuracy has surely gone down lately. I might change it to 1.5% now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Since Danis is starting the deal is obviously Marty for Kovalchuk straight up and then Devils will deal for Clemmy back since Clemmy is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 it's almost certainly not true. i just can't imagine what the devils would send back. oduya-bergfors-halischuk-leblond-1st for kovalchuk-kubina? it doesn't really add up - it's too much. the oduya/kubina part is too much. but bergfors/halischuk/1st for kovalchuk - i think you have to do that if you can - even if it is a rental. i think bergfors is a realitvely cheap 20-25 goal scorer for the next 4 years but he's not the reason the devils could/would win (directly - obviously indirectly by being cheap helps get the heavy lifters). if oduya gets included for kubina, i think i'd want a capable center like todd white in return. interesting to discuss.

Maddog Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I don't think any of those trades would be as epic as Kovalchuk coming here. Back in the day Doug Gilmore coming here was a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 the oduya/kubina part is too much. but bergfors/halischuk/1st for kovalchuk - i think you have to do that if you can - even if it is a rental. i think bergfors is a realitvely cheap 20-25 goal scorer for the next 4 years but he's not the reason the devils could/would win (directly - obviously indirectly by being cheap helps get the heavy lifters). if oduya gets included for kubina, i think i'd want a capable center like todd white in return. interesting to discuss. I don't think we know what Bergfors is yet. His start was encouraging but he's really dropped off in recent weeks. If I'm Atlanta I'm not sure I want him that badly. Anyway, once you go down Lou's checklist for acquiring players these days it's easy to see why Kovalchuk's not coming here anyway: 1) He never played for the Devils. 2) He's not some fringe player that the Devils will find a way to get more out of than anyone could expect. 3) He's not a shore up the defense type who will fail at that task once acquired at the deadline.

ThreeCups Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Back in the day Doug Gilmore coming here was a big deal. Kovalchuk coming to the Devils now would TRUMP the Gilmour deal. Gilmour was 33 year old. Kovalchuk is 26, and one of the most offensively talented players in the league right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodeur14301991 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 This is what ESPN insider has to say: We've heard rumblings that the Devils might step up to the plate for Kovalchuk (and Denis Potvin mentioned the possibility on XM radio on Tuesday), in spite of the fact that Lou Lamoriello usually stays away from the big-ticket players at the trade deadline. The organization is usually pretty quiet about deals until they come to pass, but this would be a very surprising move for a team that rarely chases superstars and their pricey contract demands.

Amberite Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Well it's looking more and more obvious that Potvin simply misspoke and meant to say "By the way, did you hear that Kovalchuk is rumored to be going to the New Jersey Devils?" Amazing how 3 little words can make all the difference. Edited February 2, 2010 by Amberite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
