Hey Devils fans. It is ok to get excited now!
On Kovalchuk...
My sources are telling me that the NJ Devils and Ilya Kovalchuk are down to a few options, but a deal is in the works and should be done "any day, early next week at the absolute latest." My best guess is a deal would be announced on Monday/Tuesday, but we will see. It could come sooner, but the Devils still need to clear some space. Zubrus to Toronto/Montreal is out there.
Despite rumors out there, I do not see the Devils moving Jamie Langenbrunner to the Leafs.
On Nashville...
The Preds are looking for an experienced D-man, and there is a team in the Northeast Division who has looked at Legwand. The Preds are also on Paul Kariya's list as well...However I wouldn't mind seeing Legwand and Kariya together again in Nashville...that combo was perhaps when Legs was at his best.
