Now what team could use a right shot sniper.
Kovalchuk is so underrated it's not even funny. The guy is one of the most purely talented players I've ever seen. When he took New Jersey to the finals that year he was every bit as good as Iginla was in 04. I think he's a good bet to score 40 goals next year if he's healthy.
