Chorske17 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ah, Kovalchuk. I hope you sign in the KHL because all you are after is money. The Devils could do better than to sign him to any contract. Sure he can score 40 goals, but the post-season is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanity_gallops Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Good to see I didn't legitimately miss anything in the last 7 hours I was away. Although SD's rant looks a bit ill-timed right now. Oh well. The more things change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Rolston, Salvador and a1st (stinks) to NYI for Brendan Witt. Dump Witt in Albany. And scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberite Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Rolston, Salvador and a1st (stinks) to NYI for Brendan Witt. Dump Witt in Albany. And scene. The funny thing is that if we signed Kovalchuk, the Islanders would need Rolston and Salvador's salary almost as much as we need to dump it. They need to get over the cap floor and convincing high priced free agents to sign on the Island is not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0llyR0ger Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (Sarcasm) This just in, according to SD's bio, "Ilya Kovalchuck to New Jersey. Long term deal 7-years $60M." Get excited, fellas. If he jinxed this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I can't say i watched every playoff game but the first two playoff games I thought Kovalchuk was the only one who cared. Parise and Zajac did squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great beach day, raw clams, Maruca's pizza and free agent madness. A great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, his agent said Kovy was "looking to make a decision on his future today." So, he never said he definitely was going to make a decision. And he certainly never said his decision would be made public. Damn the fine print, even on the 140-character-limit Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickman Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Pretty credible source from HF has the deal for 7 years @ 8.8 per. Holy fizzle is that steep if true. I would never have thought we would go anywhere near a figure like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoastdevfan Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 how come all of a sudden we are making a big trade with St.Louis? (Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) 2.3%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have thought we would go anywhere near a figure like that. I'm going to throw up if that's true. That's way too much money, and I don't know why Lou would go that high.

The Facepainter Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Pretty credible source from HF has the deal for 7 years @ 8.8 per. Holy fizzle is that steep if true. I would never have thought we would go anywhere near a figure like that. Yeah, I just read that. Dagoon pretty much nailed the Kovy and Jokinen trades a couple days before they happened. I would normally be excited, but I don't like that contract at all. We'll have no choice but to go with a very young roster, who might not all be ready. Salvadore seems like the most obvious to go at 2.9. But up front we might lose someone very valuable like Zubrus, Lags and/or Elias. Rolston would be a miracle. Anyway the contract in itself does not sound good at 8.8. He is not worth that money. That's an over payment by about 1.5-2 million. I hope his numbers are wrong.
