Sources tell Russia media that Ilya Kovalchuk is leaving SKA St Petersburg to join the KHL's expansion team in China next season.

With his size, he'll probably be the team's goon...

It's still in the KHL. It's an expansion team.

That's a pretty far place to go to avoid playing for New Jersey again

SKA denies the China news.

@hkcSKA:
Последние сообщения о возможных изменениях в составе СКА не имеют ничего общего с действительностью.

Translated, "Recent reports of possible changes in the SKA have nothing to do with reality."

I was going to say that it made sense to send the KHL's biggest global name to China and jump start that market. But now it's not true so I'm left leaving this meaningless post.

Wait, the KHL's expanding into the Orient?

They'll be unstoppable when they learn the ability to cloud men's minds.
