Trading both Sedins for him could be the very best move. I'm just saying at least take consideration on some factors. Including if he will fit with AV's coaching. That being said, I wouldn't miss the Sedins if they do get traded for him. But this is all just trade rumors anyway.

Really? When Kovalchuck is slumps he slumps, wasn't the year before he only got 76 points or something, the sedins can do that each!
Probably a press conference for the Demitra signing is my guess.

^ the sedins would never be able to notch 76 points by themselves, and also, they don't have the tenacity as kovalchuk does.

if kovulchuks worst is 76 points in his nhl career. thats still top 3 scoring on the canucks roster. your comparing the sedins best seasons to kovulchuks worst? and its still pretty close in points Quote:

I'm just saying you replace 140-160 points for 1 guy that produces 80+ points, where are you going to fill in the rest of the gap? IMO anyways...unless someone steps up big in place of the twins.

Kovalchuk will cost Sedins + more.
And teh Sedins pass to themselves so their pt totals are a little inflated. How many goals can they bring compared to Kovalchuk?
edit: actually who's better at creating offense when it actually matters in the playoffs and the defenses are tough?

Under the circumstances, id rather have the sedins than Kovalchuk just cause there both combined make about the same as him. Right now we'd have to spend an extra 2-3mil on a player to play with him. If the sedins were making 5.5mil each, then id make that trade cause Kovalchuk + player will score more goals than Daniel and Henrik.
Trade or No Trade, Sedins or Kovalchuk, id be happy with any scenario to be honest.

He is a center though so if they did sign him I'm guessing the Sundin offer is off the table? 3 years left on his deal in Washington and his cap number is 4.85m.
If there is any truth to that rumor I'm not sure what I think about it. I guess it would depend what they would give to get him, he's only a couple years younger then Linden.

I wouldn't want Nylander on our team. His high point totals over the past several seasons were highly inflated because of Jagr in New York. Why else would I have picked him in my hockey pool?  | |
