Thread: Kovalchuk is a NJ Devil. Now, get over it already.

I knew we weren't going to get him. I knew that some team would be too willing to part with too much.

Say he gets Kovy for $8M per on the cap hit.

That leaves $8.5 M left for 13 players, and the min is like $525K.

It ain't gonna happen unless Lou tears apart his core.

Lombardi will sign him after this season

Lou will deal his rights pre-draft to Lombardi, so DL can sign him before July 1st, and announce it at the draft.

BOOM! I SAID IT!!!!

The most likely of scenarios. That would be a way to make a big splash and make the home crowd go crazy at the draft.

Ouch. I just read this too:

I'm ok with Bergfors, Cormier is a big ?, Oduya? meh... We'll see what happens. I'm just glad he's gone, and that he's not a King.

Yeah, seriously.

Waddell is gonna get shown the door later this spring/summer, and someone is gonna come in and totally clean house.

If he doesn't ranch the rest of that squad (UFA's) in the little over 3 weeks before the deadline, he should get the axe.
