    Yep, how's the relate to the point of comparing 37 yr old Hull signed as a UFA for $3.5M for a couple seasons...and Kovalchuk who will cost significant players AND cost ~$9M for 8 seasons?

    I think my biggest issue with this sentence is that Yzerman is in it in a way that implies that Thornton is comparable.

    It's not happening. Eklund just chimed in with this:

    "Talking to sources I just get the sense the Hawks are in this like they were "in" on Heatley. I don't see the deal getting done. I have actually increased Montreal a bit, lowered Philly, and increased LA...who were I to go on my hunch is the favorite."

    He has only played 4 career playoff games for Atlanta, I don't know how anyone can come to the conclusion that he disappears in the playoffs based on 1 series that happened 3 years ago.

    on a random side note, was that the series where Avery scored a goal on Lehtonen from center ice?

    Yeah, game 2 IN Atlanta and it gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead in the series. That was brutal.

    Phil Esposito had a whopping 8 points in his first 29 career playoff games. That all changed.

    And if Kovalchuk turns into Phil Esposito, I'll eat my words.

    Somehow I don't think ANYONE is EVER going to compare those two again.

    Sure, and I'm just sayin' that Kovalchuk has another three years to look at since then and when it comes to hard times and tough games he checks out.

    If Kopitar does that for the next three years I hope they trade him.
