Unfortunately, can't see us being able to afford him. He is a tank though. Elite skater, built like an ox, elite defensively, disgusting shot. Just an all around dynamo. Really reminded me of Iginla that year he put the Devils on his spine and carried them to the cup.

Is this even a serious question. A 40 year old fan favourite who is a team guy and a warrior or a quitter. 33 year old Over paid and weak former goal scorer ???
How is Kovalchuk weak? The Kovalchuk I remember was built like a tank and moved like one too. He was pretty close to winning a conn Smythe in 2012.
Every team will be in on him and pay a premium. What can we afford to give up?
1st in 2017, Anderson and Shinkaruk?

Kovalchuk and Iginla were basically the same when it came to goalscoring. Kovy is one of the best goalscorers of his era. That being said, I won't begin to suggest that I have been following his play in the KHL and he IS 35 years old.

32 goals, 46 assists - 78 points in 60 games this past season
-- Right handed winger
-- Pure Goal Scorer
-- Big body
The guy was a pure HHOF talent for a decade in the NHL. These type of players don't just lose their skill. The Iginlas, Hulls, Shanahan's, etc. we're able to a play closer to their 40s.
If this is true, the Flames better be considering it.
