Alex Tanguay Or Alex Kovalev


Recommended Posts

I still hope we can get Kovalev under our belt, and then we can finally say we have a nice set of top 6 forwards.

I'm not certain as to how much money we have left, but I heard around 8 million dollars, and if that's the case, I believe Kovalev will take a contract at around 4-4.5 million along with the captaincy. And hopefully after that, we'll have the room to sign some of our RFAs.

Sad to see the inevitable...Koivu's soon departure.

Kovalev for 5 million. Give him captaincy. Yes, I know his production doesn't warrant that kind of money, but it might take that much to keep him. That leaves us with 5.5 million to sign RFAs (Pleks, Dags, and Lats). Plenty. We'll be right up against the cap, but we'll have one hell of a blazing fast, skilled team.

As much as I like Tanguay, Kovalev provides the kind of game-breaking potential that very few players can. Kovalev would excel as captain of this team.

I'm sure Gainey has the OK to spend to the max so i say lets do it.Nobody says we need to ice a 23 man roster,,, so we can make a little room there. Injuries will also likely reduce the Cap number down the road. IMO, signing one more biggy is doable.

Nearly 10.5 according to NHLNumbers.com

We could sign them both, but we would have no money remaining to sign our RFAs. I figure it will cost about 4-5 million to re-sign Dags, Lats, and Pleks, which leaves us with just enough to sign one star player.

Id sign dags lats and pleks all for around 4-5m total but i would not sign kovy unless its a one year deal as the cap is going down a ton after the next season around 3-4m so i would not go all money crazy spending all our money all the way to the cap because we are going to have to let go of players to reach below the cap after next season.

Kovalev the game breaker and also the game loser.He's one guy that can effect the game in a good and bad way and since he only shows up once in a while I'd like to see him go. He's shown us he can't lead this team becuase he is a individual and not a team player and when things are not going good with him, the team alwats suffers. Winners don't drag down there team just becuase there in a slump but Kovalev does.

If I had to pick, I'd say Kovalev. Be great with the new players to have someone with skill/chemistry with the rest of the team (that we didn't just buy).

But I'd like it if we somehow could sign all of them.
