Kovalchuk Trade Imminent

[Vegas Dave]

Just saw that, wonder who they gave up?

Should be interesting, their pipeline is pretty dry. Zajac or Oduya probably involved.

Clarkson maybe too.

Sick sick sick! Tough one for Philly fans

 

[Vegas Dave]

So glad its not the Kings. Now I'm just curious as hell what it cost 'em!

 

[Matty]

Cash in a rather thick envelope would be my guess.

Edit - TSN is saying that Oduya is involved.

Report: Kovalchuk to Devils for Johnny Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, Mattias Tedenby (Devs #1 prospect) and First Round Pick

Jeez that's alot. Once again, glad it wasn't the Kings.

They had no bargaining power and nothing to offer. Thrashers are fucked for many more years to come. That is considered a steal to be honest.

Turns out it's Patrice Cormier, not Tedenby, going the other way.

No elite prospects going Atlanta's way, but considering the circumstances, a 2nd pairing Dman (Oduya), a projected 2nd liner (Bergfors) and 3rd liner (Cormier), and a 1st round pick isn't a terrible return.

WOW. If Kovi goes to Chicago.....WOW

Id be more surprised if the Kings gave up on him and Montreal got him for nothing.

Rumor has it that he has a verbal agreement to come back to MTL next season.

Not sure I want him back, he was a bit of a flash in the pan. Nice guy though.
