Plus they probably get a good discount when the Ringling Brothers come to Madison Square Garden.

And yet their fans will insist otherwise.

Attempting to argue the subject with a Ranger fan then goes something like this:

Oh man...I've gotta use that in the future...that's hilarious

Nah, Kovy just wanted to go to disney land, he'll be back tomorrow to sign with devils.

uhhh...He lives in Florida and was at that home all offseason.

Darcy Zajac has signed two-year contract with Albany (AHL). He's Travis Zajac's younger brother.

Is he any good, or is it like signing Gio and Zach's younger siblings?

HEY! Disney land has the California experience! Which is just weird...being in California and all. God I hate LA.

He's a long shot I had some numbers but can't find them, looks like long term AHL, but who knows anyone else find his numbers?

If Kovy does not sign with LA I will eat my Stevens jersey. Book it!

Definitely like Gio and Zach's siblings. I think it's safe to say this was done as a favor to Zajac as was done for the other two and that "little" Zajac will never make the team.

Too bad Kovy doesn't have a younger brother looking to play pro hockey...

Define California experience...cuz I've never been there. Are we talking sleeping on Skid Row or Beverly Hills Shopping?

they signed him to a minor league contract, so, yeah, figure it out.

As bad as NJ is, California is just as bad if not worse with land value / taxes / etc. Not to mention the state is basically bankrupt.

Kovy will get a package including use of a Ritz-Calton Condo in AEG's billion dollar development in LA.

Kovy will also be establishing his home/state residence in Nevada: 0% Income Tax and most likely in Las Vegas. (AEG has interests there too)

California's State Income would be: 11+%

There's tax exemptions (state residency) for professional sports players anyway.

AEG is a powerful private multi billion dollar conglomerate that can woo Ilya and Nicole with VIP service to anything they own and control around the planet.

Maybe watch a future Manchester Utd vs Chelsea championship game at O2 stadium in London to a local or around the world concert.

Exclusives to HOLLYWOOD events (Grammys, Oscars, Movie releases, etc)

Nicole Kovalchuk is a former entertainer so it's pretty much obvious what would appeal to her... and usually most people. AEG is very powerful across multiple industries, across the planet.

I thought Kovy wanted to stay out of the spotlight? What's with the proposition of all the awards shows and big events he could go to in LA

grossman mixed up his calendar i guess. per 2.3, this is pretty hardcore:

* Today Ilya is going around with Dustin Brown and another King, to check out LA and his wife is being taken shopping to all the finer spots...

* looks like the kings are really doing all the right things to make this happen.

* meanwhile, Lombardi and Grossman, Kovalchuk's agent, are apparently talking business.

* tonight, another big dinner at a private LA restaurant.

God I hate LA.

Most Californians do!

According to Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate), "Today Ilya is going around with Dustin Brown and another King, to check out LA and his wife is being taken shopping to all the finer spots"... so Kovy is probably out banging models a la Vinnie Chase while his wife is being kept busy.

And who knows if this falls into that 2.3%: "I can also clarify the actual offers...They are not nearly as big and long as being reported. The Devils is still around 60M/over 7 years, while the Kings is a few more years, a little less per year.."
