Thread: Kovalchuk Part VI-The Return of Lombardi?-UPDATE IK A Devil again thread in NHL TALK

It always amazes me that no matter who we are rumored to get, there is always someone who doesn't want said player.

the only things I care about is can the guy play strong D and move the puck out of the zone without having to try to hit the new staples center video board?

I hope that one of those things is an extensive physical, preferably including independent reports from at least two good neurologists.

I'm betting that he wants a NMC and DL is only willing to offer a NTC. :P

Oh, I don't argue that. I just hope the Kings would be able to lock him up prior.

and an incentive laden contract.

For ****'s sake, in Mitchell we're talking about a guy who's been a proven solid player. His last contract was 3.5/year, and with his injury concerns and age, he can probably be had at 2-3 per. If he's cleared to play, how is that not worth a flier?
