I'd say he's comparable to

So you can assume just under a mill probably… maybe just over with bonuses.

which is why only 25 of his 49 points came on the PP… Gonchar had 30 PP points out of 50… and guess what, with Gonchar their PP Was actually pretty damn good… without him? not so much.

What would we be spending the Kovalchuk money on? Overpaid third liners?
Our biggest need is elite talent in our top six. Adding a 20 goal scorer for $3M and saying “eh it looks ok” is a terrible plan compared to actually using our cap space to bring in one of the best players in the league.

The TSN Heads must have an inside track that Kovy is coming to the Leafs, that would explain all the irrational trashing of him.

I know you’ve mentioned Cox having sources, but it seems to me like LeBrun has the ear of either Burke or Nonis, doesn’t it?
"if women think they aren’t meant to cook…then why do they have milk and eggs inside them?"
I think Burke uses the media miles more than JFJ ever did. I haven’t looked at LeBrun as much to see.

Good point
I’ll add him to our list of media toadies ;)

Lombardi: Deal.

Basically Columbus is from a game time thread where someone asked where the game was and about 20 people answered Columbus. Now, whenever something is repeated, we generally exclaim it must be happening in Columbus

All of the free agents will be signed. Everyone will be asking “Where’s Kovalchuk?”
Days pass. Weeks pass. It’s September. Someone asks Brian Burke about the Leafs lack of depth on the left wing.
“We signed Kovalchuk at 12:01 on July first. I personally sat with his agent and we laughed at all the teams calling to sign him for days.”
