Quoting: Zwui21
Do you really think a contender would give up a 2nd rounder for a guy they could have signed 3 weeks ago for 700k in cap space? lmao
what was he doing 3 weeks ago ?
sitting out a couple months practicing with no teams just by himself .
it makes sense that everyone including Bergavin was skeptical about signing him .
as soon as MB signed him the first press conference he did '' its on him, if he fails we lose nothing but if he succeeds that puts us in a good position for no cost''
Kovalev's done amazing but i dont think we sell him
i think its worth the declining ticket sales to push Kovy-Mania
its not worth moving him IMO
i think he put us in a position to Sell Tatar without turning the team into a team that leads the league in shots while having one of the worst offense's in the NHL.
Kovy doesnt replace Tatar in any way he just helps distract fans during the transition .
