WELCOME KOVY!!!

Washington trades their 3rd Round selection in 2020 for Ilya Kovalchuk

Washington Capitals @Capitals
Montreal will retain 50% of Kovalchuk's salary

That's an interesting add. I'm kind of pulling for AO to get another cup if it can't be the Flames.

Imagine if it were 2008 or something.
Would've been so nasty.

That’s a really good low risk deal. I thought they would at least get 2nd.

Not a bad deal at all. Too bad Oshie isn’t a center. “Kovy Ovi Oshie” would have been a fun line to say.

Look like Ovi and Kovy can be best buds for 20 + playoff games.

I think Kovalchuk liked Montreal so much that he is going to re-sign there.

Absolutely. They still have a window to win another cup and given the age of their top players, going all-in makes sense.

Not sure where he will slot in 5v5 but never hurts to have another goal scorer

This add just gave the Caps another lethal weapon on PP2.

Caps just got a lot better, Kovalchuk has been good in Montreal. As someone mentioned wouldn't be surprised to see him re sign in Montreal

Not kidding when I say this, the Habs retained 50 percent on Kovalchuk’s league minimum salary and cap hit. So about 76k. Every dime counts for the cap-challenged Captials.
