I thought he was a Russian.

[realmendontwearteal]

he is russian..... he might have gotten traded to mtl....but im not too sure if thats true

[realmendontwearteal]

he was traded to mtl for a player and a draft pick

[realmendontwearteal]

kovalev cant find one place to stay for that long

[qcsabresfan84]

yeah it's official

I'm surprised, i'd never heard that montreal would be a player for a big name trade. pretty uncharacteristic of that organization.

[pyrrhonist]

The Habs spell their name Canadiens, not with the 'a' to describe inhabitants of the nation.

This is a surprise. Montreal isn't a team you usually see picking up a larger name player. Of course, Kovalev hasn't really been the same since Pittsburgh, but still.

Montreal gives up minor league player Jozef Balej,& 2nd round pick

Come on darcy trade some damn draft picks & get us some help!!!!!!!!! Dont be afraid to deal future picks we already have enough works in progress going on....

[Dozerdog]

Kovalev's a rent-a player- FA after the season I beleive. I'm glad Buffalo didn't get involved with that one.

[chubluv]

I didnt mean the Kovalev trade. I'm talking about all the other players that have been had for next to nothing. I bet he still doesnt want to break up the team chemistry ....lol
