Completly agree Squanto, thats why I stated: "Money talks, Bullshit walks".

You offer Kolvachuck 9 mil a yr for an 8 to 10 yr contract he'll take it, hands down. And he would be worth every penny. He entertains a crowd through his talents and contributions to the team effort.
Kolvachuck in a Sabres Jersey = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for this organization.

Mr. Pegula, your destiny awaits you sir.

Kovie will get close to max level contract offers from multiple teams.

He'll have plenty of options other than Buffalo, and because of that there's no way he'll sign here.

trade anyone on the sabres for him except for miller, myers, gaustad, and kaleta

Tyler Myers - Future captain of the Buffalo Sabres, and future Norris Trophy Winner

Manning the machine gun on the Tyler Myers Bandwagon - just in case any teams have an idea of prying him away from us (3 GM's shot already)

Connolly/Roy - 2 goals in the last 47 playoff games

Everytime someone replies in this thread, I see red at the grievous misspelling of Kovalchuk.

Okay yeah sure. Do that trade and let Atlanta give away their best sniper and a guy who can get them a playoff spot and give them a shithole who misses the net and another guy who misses the net but is lazy and gets lucky in front. Roy, a first, and gragiani for him.

This whole post was for not, All of you were correct on Kovalchuck coming to Buffalo.
He will never come here, and for one reason.

KOSLOV!

Read the article and tell me what you think about his thoughts about Ruff and Darcy.

Slava Kozlov is a fucking bitch. A whiny, gurly bitch. Hope all those pretty-boys just rot in the Eastern Conference cellar for all eternity...

They can score all the fancy-assed goals they want, crank out highlight reels and pad their meaningless stats - But Don Waddell's shit-assed team will never win a Cup (.......unless Bettman rigs it, to save that Mickey Mouse, Gumby franchise, from the clutches of a hovering Jim Balsillie.)

Like I said during post season Russians are only doing well with other Russians. So even if possible (which I highly doubt) I can't see Kovalchuck signing here.

I would take E. Staal for him.

To Kovalchuk, it is ALL about the money. He's going to be a highest-bidder player next season. His time in Atlanta is DONE.

yep, there is no way Atlanta would be able to pay him that kind of cash. Especially in that market. I predict him going to boston or NYR
