IF you could have Ilya Kovalchuk for 1.5 years....would you?
Let us pretend that the following has happened with the Canucks:
-By March 4th, the Canucks are somewhere between 4th and 6th place after having a pretty good February. All the hockey "pundits" out there (including regular CC posters such Sid Dithers, Madcombepilot, Dangler and Island Nucklehead, ) come to the agreement that if the Canucks just had that ONE extra superstar player, they would be a serious contender for the cup.
-By this time, the Ilya Kovalchuk rumors have spread like wildfire. "It's not a matter of 'if'....it's a matter of 'who,'" exclaimed the 230 lb. Bob McKenzie on TSN.
Behind the scenes, Atlanta's GM and Mike Gillis are having conversations.
Gillis: We are interested in the services of Kovalchuk. We think we have a real chance here. What do we need to give up?
Atlanta's GM: We're not sure what the exact package will be......but it's going to cost you atleast Hodgson.

So - here's my question to you guys: What would you be willing to give up for Ilya Kovalchuk at the trade deadline if Atlanta was having talks with Vancouver?
Keep in mind: The Canucks would Kovalchuk and for this year AND next.
