Russians can play in the west. Its not as bad as you make it out to be.
Datsyuk, Federov, Mogilny, Bure just to name a few. Those players are either hall of famers or HOF to be.
With the new nhl rules where cluthing and grabbing and scrums have been a thing of the past this favors Russians even more. The only thing we would need if we signed Kovy is a bonified goon with skill like boogard to protect Kovy if things got chippy.
It would be impossible to say how many points Kovy would produce in Canucks uniform but him alongside the sedins twins would be the most epic line in the NHL history. I'm talking on par with gretzky's record breaking goal streak with the oilers.
