If you're building a team, and you have a pool of free agents to choose from, including Kovi at 10 million per season, would you take him?

Personally, I wouldn't even come close to taking Kovalchuk at 10 million.

No I wouldn't you can bet he's signing with the new russian league soon. I highly doubt that any GM would be that stupid.

I'd take Kovalchuk at $9 million over Vanek at $7 million.

Just saying....

I'd much rather have Ovechkin, Crosby, or Malkin at ten million than Kovalchuk.

kovalchuk isn't worth that, why isn't he a top 5 point producer? Why isn't he a top five goal scorer? Why isn't he a top 5 +/-?

Until he has everyone of those stats, he isn't a ten million dollar player.

Ovechkin is the best player in the league and he doesn't even earn 10 million a year, Crosby and Malkin are probably the second best players in the league and don't even earn 9 million a year.

I think someone will give him that much, but he isn't even worth 7.5 Million Gaborik is earning.

Hello KHL!!

With a good chance that the cap is going down, Koive is going to price himself right out of the market.

Tip: Look at the Atlanta roster, and name the playmakers.

Mark my words right now, Kovalchuk will be a Ranger, they'll buy out Drury, and another roster player, especially with the young talent coming up, and they will sign Kovie.

Why? Because they make nearly 300M in advertising money every single year, they have the means to do it, and they must win in NY, or they face HEAVY media criticism.

and like i told you earlier, then they'll still only have two guys on that team that can score. Gaborik and Kovalchuk.

Even so that would still be sick

Then again, it Glen Sather, and he'll figure a way to fuck it all up......

Kovalchuk has scored more goals in the NHL than any other player since the turn of the millennium - and soon he'll start his streak of scoring more goals in the KHL since the turn of the new decade.

Well let me also say, Look at when Crosby put up 120 points, who did he have? Also look at when Ovechkin did 112 points, the Capitals weren't a very huge threat of an actual team yet, oh and when Malkin put up 110 points or whatever, he didn't have Crosby to help him.

Kovalchuk would probably be a plus player if he was on a team with a few more playmakers, but what about when he had Hossa, or Heatley?
