It may be a 2 way deal but I doubt he ever reports to the AHL. He could, if he doesn't already, hold the record for most cancelled contracts after this.

Caps should have taken a flier if this was the price... surprised they didn't based on his relationship with Ovi

This looks pretty reasonable to me. Must not have been a lot of interest in him if this is all it took to sign him.

damn! I'm surprised he agreed to a two-way. Pretty risky.

Not really, if he clears waivers and gets sent down, it likely means he's done in the NHL and won't report.

This also does show that he wanted to play in the NHL for a chance at the cup, and didn’t want to bolt to Russia necessarily as many people were speculating.

Bold prediction: Ilya Kovalchuk is not a Hab come February.

Yeah I could see Kovalchuk being really attractive at that salary, especially if he contributes on Montreal's powerplay.

Makes a lot of sense with Gallagher out indefinitely. Why not take a chance with Ilya.

I disagree with those who are surprised at the cap hit.

He is pretty much shown he is finished at NHL level

Taking a while to get to 5000
Saw this morning that Kovalchuk gave Brett Kulak a watch for giving up #17

That way Kulak can track how long until Kovy bails and he can have his number 17 back....
