-- Shero will give Kovalchuk a NTC so that Kovy gets some control of where he plays
-- Shero gets a 1st round pick or whatever from the contract, which is better than nothing
Obviously Jersey needs Kovalchuk on that roster because they lack good forwards, but I just can't see Kovalchuk wanting to play on a basement dwelling team for his comeback debut.

Sorry but it will not happen like that.
IF Jersey does not want him in the line up, they will allow his agent to talk to other teams, and work out a sign trade.
