Kovalev Close To Resigning With Canadiens

Kovy_nhl_all_star_game_1erlbcilh_wl_medium

Radio station CKAC is announcing that the Canadiens have come to an agreement with forward Alex Kovalev on a two year deal. The contract would essentially be an extension of his most recent deal, as it would pay him $4.5M in each of the next two season.

The contract has yet to be confirmed by the Canadiens.

Earlier today, CKAC said it spoke with Kovalev's agent, who denied they had turned down a deal for two seasons worth $8.8M. It was said that the agent felt both parties were close to a deal at that point.

TSN is saying there is no deal yet on the Kovalev front.

As of 7:30, it is told that Kovalev is considering similar offers from both the Canadiens and Los Angeles.

Spacek

Why not a younger Beauchemin?

Why not Spacek and Beauchemin?

Spacek was always a thorn in our side...

Now he’s on our side and i like the move a lot. Two of the best puck movers in the East Markov and Spacek our pp is going to be deadly. Add Shneider and fogettaboutit. Camalleri and Gomez. We just became unbelivably small but ALSO fast, fast, fast. Sixty goals between them is not unreachable, in fact, expected. Kovalev will stay and Gainey will lose Koivu but add another top six winger. i think. The youngsters like Patch and D’ago will have to bring thier best junk to camp if they want a sniff at the roster. Lats will re-sign. We still need more grit which i belive Gainey will address.
