Kovalchuk has turned down the chance to be an overpaid 36 year old floater, which will happen, inevitably.

 

[Hawk]

He's fuckin' nuts.

At 26 yrs old turning down a 12 yr contract for all that moolah

 

[Matty]

Can't blame him. Imagine being a NHL star in frickin' Atlanta.

 

[fiveteamer]

Yeah, imagine it, no pressure, nobody knows your face.

Sounds good to me.

 

[Saulty]

How can you live on 101 million dollars for 12 years the way the dollar is going down the toilet? If they offer him a contract with a more stable currency like the Euro he will accept. The way Obama is writing trillion dollar checks the dollar may lose half its value in 12 years.

 

[Vegas Dave]

And his trade value continues to plummet.

 

[InTheHole]

Does the NHL even bring in 101 million over 12 years?

 

[Immortality]

Can't blame him. Imagine being a NHL star in frickin' Atlanta.

Pavy is an internet star and lives in Atlanta. It can be done.
