Rumor: Ilya Kovalchuk will be signing a 2-3 year deal with NYR

[Inferno]

What difference does 1 year make or 2? Pretty much nothing. We will still have a ton of cap room and have no RFAs going to be demanding big money that 2nd year.

I'm 2 yrs ek65 mcd doughty and oel are all ufas. I want alot of money free.

 

[mrmel329]

If signing kovalchuk leads to Gusev signing here next year than he's worth it.

He's 43 in July

Is that a pool we want to swim in? All of those players will want 7y/8+M. Only OEL will be under 30 by the time the contract kicks in.

 

[Thirty One]

But not this upcoming July...

Oh, we are getting back McD at a 7 million dollar contract?

 

[NYR]

While most already have him traded for all these "assets" in a year or 2, lets not forget that big old fat NMC that's going to be attached to this pending ridiculousness.

I doubt he uproots his life to come back to the NHL without one..

You play him and trade guys that he helps make superfluous for picks/players. The net is paying cash for more picks and/or players which is great if you have a rich team trying to restock, which we do.

I think most would do the 2 year deal without a NTC, but even so, if the Rangers are out of it at the end of 2019-20, I would imagine he'd want to be traded. If not, whatevs.

Why would he even want to leave Russia to play here at 35 years old anyway?

He’s gotta be more nutty than even you 31.

He’s has boat loads of money.
He probably has all sorts of smoking hot Russian chicks, drinks tons of vodka and hangs out eating goulash and shit.

The guys got the life.

Stay home Kovalchuk!

I'm a fraud and have never actually been to NYC, but I believe they have chicks and vodka there, too.

Nah, I am not so sure about that. Think he is the type who cares more about reputation than money. Think he will accept a trade or head back to Russia in no time if we don’t want him. It’s a 35+ y/o contract so don’t know how much it helps — but...

What is the best way to end up on a contender? Sign a 1 year deal with the worst team in the league. You can sign with a Chicago or LA and miss the POs. Go to a team that will rent you at the deadline and you should end up on a contender come the deadline.

Not saying that we would move him next spring, but don’t necessarily think there is a right way to find a contender.

 

[JohnC]

Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m not happy about this.

Money is a tad too low and the term is way too short for my liking.

I could be wrong but I just don't see why a 35 year old player would sign himself up to possibly being bounced around the league at this point in his career.

However, A one year deal would work just fine for me.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Another thing to keep in mind..

Kovalchuk hasn't been in the league for 5 years now.

The game has taken a complete 180 in terms of how it's played along with systems deployed.

He's a complete stranger to the new NHL.

Yeah but if he can stand in the left dot and shoot that damn puck he's already a world of improvement over what we have on the PP.

That’s true fandom right there.

 

[Bob Richards]

The 'Red Army' Rangers are underway.

I've run the calculations and this is where we will rank based on my predictor model

1. 2018-2020 New York Rangers
2. Battle of Kursk
3. Tracksuit section at the adidas outlet in Yonkers

I think it's the rest of game that might be a concern but whatever will be will be..

At least 31 admitted he’s a fraud, you’re just lying...

So is the **** just a side dish with the goulash? Or like is that separate meal?

And it’s really true his money would mean nothing in NY can’t even get Hudson River water.

 

[NYR]

Yes..Of course stuff.

Step up your game and keep up fraud lol.

Besides, I think I already stated that he hasn't been in the league for 5 years right?

And shit (in addition too) would imply that it's together no? Lol
