What’s his NHL upside?
Im honestly not too familiar with him but it sounds like a lot of teams were after him including the Rangers and Habs.

If we move some of the higher cap guys/players this guys elc cap hit could help us a lot he can make the team

Have to see how his skating looks on the smaller ice with quicker decisions. His shot alone should make him a Wahlstrom replacement, if he has more hockey sense.

He reminds me of Nelson in his scoring highlights. Really calm and a deceiving shot

We signed him, a goalie, who’s the dman we’re interested in overseas again?

Good competition for camp already

Never bad to have pro depth. I have low expectations for these Europe signings but they’re low risk so why not take a shot.

I love these moves even if they don't pan out, it's better to be in on them then not in on them. There's the Kevin Hayes, Andrei Kuzmenko etc and then the Gilroy's, Sekac etc, but it's always better to be in than out.

Kovalchuk played 20 games on the team and is somehow involved in mgmt I think, he talked so much how he respected Lou I bet he had a little insight to isles about him. I also imagine isles promised him a spot in NHL.

Good news to see someone signed on who molds to be like Cal or Wahlstrom. Could be a huge upside if they get him to play a few NHL games

Now would you go Barzal-Horvat-Tsyplakov with Kovalchuk near the dot for the one time option on the Powerplay next season?
