Good trade for Caps. Offense just became even more explosive.

I would've actually liked kovy at 50% for a third but it he will probably be more motivated in Washington and it's just too perfect of a fit.

So Kovalchuk is going to have 3 paychecks rolling in. Kings, Canadians, and Capitals. Living the dream man, living the dream.

Ovechkin - Backstrom - Wilson
Kovalchuk - Kuznetsov - Oshie
Vrana - Eller - Panik
Hagelin - Dowd - Hathaway

Nobody in the league has better forwards.

They terminated that deal no? I don't think the Kings owe him anything.

Yes but I’m sure Kovy would be much 1000x happier/motivated to be in Washington.

Actually just checked. Not only are the Kings still paying him, but the Devils are, too.

Four paychecks

So much for Eklund saying Calgary was very interested but Montreal was asking a lot 😂

Good question. I was going off capfriendly which had his contract still counting against the cap. So I assume he is still getting paid despite parting ways? Not to sure how that worked out.

I don’t believe they pay him but some of his deal still stays on LAs cap.

Yeah, because it was a 35+ multi-year contract, the full cap hit still counts against the Kings, but he isn't actually being paid on the terminated contract.

The Devils are in a similar situation where they still carry a cap hit against his contract for cap recapture, but he isn't being paid by them (he was already paid the money and its cap hit is just being recaptured).
