Leaf Rumours

Kovalchuk isn't coming to Toronto, get over it before it never happens. I saw an interview with Kovalchuk and he said himself he's not looking for a big hockey market, he likes the low key life he has in Atlanta.

Well it doesn't look like he likes Atlanta that much.

If he's into black girls, he'll stay in Atlanta

It's rumored he (Kovalchuk) wants a 10-year deal worth $11.3 million a season -- the maximum allowable contract in accordance with the collective bargaining agreemenet -- but GM Don Waddell has said he isn't willing to give it. Of course, there are plenty of suitors willing to either "rent" Kovy for the rest of the season, or take on his potentially massive salary in a long-term deal.

According to one rumor, the pricetag for Kovalchuk in trade may have been set by the Flyers over the past week: a package of Jeff Carter, Claude Giroux and Ryan Parent was allegedly offered in exchange for the Thrashers forward.



You will have to pay a steep price to get him from Atlanta, even with his contract status, just because 26 year old, 50 goal scorers don't become available every day.

Wow. Well, we definitely can't compete with that.
 
Contingent on if Kovy signs with them in the offseason...

But damn, thats a darn good package.

And please, just say no to giving up prospects again. Id much rather see Kovy traded somewhere else than for us to get him for what is going to be a VERY steep price.
 
I dunno Carter is less than a year removed from a 46 goal season and Giroux projects to a 60-70 pt player in the future. Thats probably a damn good deal for someone who Waddell is not intent on giving the big bucks for.
