Reports indicate that the Oilers turned down offers from the Island for the highly skilled but enigmatic Russian.

Oilers have quite different situation. Edmonton squad don't have plenty of room to afford Kovalev's contract and on the other hand have quite enough big scorers to be as high as they are. Hawks can easily afford overpaid guys and don't have anyone anywhere near Kovalev's caliber, as the best Hawks forward was Bulis (72 OV).
