Kovalchuk comes to Florida
Here's how the trade breaks down
To Florida
Ilya Kovalchuk
Boatload of cash
To Philadelphia
The 2nd overall pick
Josh Harding
Kevin Connauton
Curtis Hamilton
Brian Day
Normally, I would not have parted with such a high pick, but this year's draft doesn't look to be stellar and the prospects of drafting Adam Larsson didn't really fly to well with me as the last thing I need is another D-man.
I already have plenty of other prospects and players that are higher in the depth charts than all of Harding, Connauton, and Hamilton so it was easier to part with them in order to get a legit superstar winger.
