It will be even better for the Hawks if Kovalev can regain his form from last season.

Yup, just found out, Kovalev was 7th in CPHL in scoring with 106 points last season. He was 84 OV that time though. [/b][/quote]
Kovalev is to forwards what Cechmanek is to goaltenders when comparing this years CPHL to last years. Still Kovalev is the best player in this trade and really isn't that old, and depending if he ends up back in Pittsburgh could rebound in the NHL. Still Kuba is a solid defenceman with a very workable contract for this season and more importantly next. Reports indicate that the Oilers turned down offers from the Island for the highly skilled but enigmatic Russian.
