I'm not fond of Ilya Kovalchuk's game.

Dale, its been more than 5 years. Have you changed your mind yet?I think NJ has made a player of Kovy. He looks different then the guy I didnt like so much in Atlanta.

[digitalmonkey]

Oh for sure!I think this thread has inspired him.He's been much more involved and not a perimeter player any more.

[digitalmonkey]

And wow! 5 YEARS!!!!!!

[Fenxis]

It's way too nice outside to give a flip about the NHL playoffs.

[Zach6668]

I've become a big Kovy fan over the last year or two. Probably has something to do with him somehow being soooo underrated. He's a beast everywhere. Probably the top winger in the game.

General question:How much do you think Jason Garrison signs for? Some are talking about him signing for $4 million+ per season. He was paid $675,000 last season.

[Zach6668]

Realistically, $4M+ for one good season where he just dominated the start then trailed off drastically (statistically) is overpayment. Having said that, he's UFA, and it's going to happen, probably. Ideally, from a GM POV, he'd get a short term 1-2 year deal for say $2.5 or something and be forced to prove that he's worth the big money.I mean, he's turning 28 in November, and was never a point producer in college (although his numbers are respectable), and only had mildly good point-producing seasons in his AHL stints.I don't know, I guess I wouldn't be surprised with a 5-year, $20 million deal in this era. Tough to say. I imagine someone will be blinded by the booming shot and give him what he wants.

[Zach6668]

His 16 goals this past season are only 4 shy of his total college and AHL career. He has 7 goals in another season and a half at the NHL level.

This is exactly what I think he'll get. Except from Jeffstrat, he'll give him a five year deal since he only has to pay him Curtis Jackson.

Heads up! I may shit myself today.
