From SN

It appears Ilya Kovalchuk’s return to the NHL will be postponed for at least another year.

He will be 35 at the start of the 18-19 season and will be a full FA, free to sign anywhere.

Watch Tryamkin come back after he doesn't get paid in 2018/19. ;)

Sign Kovie, team russia on Canucks in 2019.

Kovie - Burmistrov - Goldy

Tryamkin

I like your idea here. Kovi was always one of my fave players, I'd luv to see him here. We haven't had a true sniper in the lineup since Nasi I guess. With the Sedins off the books, it'd be a nice reset and nice splash to bring in Kovi and Evander the Party Man Kane in the offseason of 2018. :P

If some NHL team had the "kahunas" to do it, (not us), and if one of them could play center,
an old man line of Jagr, Doan and Iginla could probably be done for 6 mill or less.

Wouldn't that be a kick if they racked up some points-to prove one.

Won't Kovalchuk be 36 in 2019? Will he even be a true sniper at that point?

Apparently Kovalchuk was pressured by Putin to stay in Russia. Very important for Russia to win Gold in an election year.

Well yeah but iirc Sundin at least helped jump start Kesler's confidence, maybe kovie can do that for our other russians & more importantly help bring back the big russian bear tryamkin.

So Kovalchuk will return to the NHL to play with a bottom feeder and play with a couple waiver scrub Russians he doesn't know that are ten years younger than him. Lay off the scotch guard

Sign Leon to a $9M offer sheet!

$27.5M on 3 forwards would make things interesting.

Sounds like something the grave-robbing Leaves would do. :mrgreen:
