Other than the fact he has more points than Neal (playing a top 6 role), what exactly does he bring? What other aspects to Kovolchucks game are you seeing?
I have always seen him as a one dimensional goal scorer. No back checking / defensive prowess (hence his -19). Can he still skate? Is he physical in anyway?
Here is one thing I notice - Neal has been to the SCF twice in the last two years. In that time Kovolchuck has been trying to convert Rubles to dollars.
I'll take that veteran playoff experience every day.
