Much mouth breathing in this post.

You mis-spelled reality. Seriously, you folks are delusional if you think that guy has any interest in returning to the NHL, and any ability still remaining to play here if he did.

Holy crap. It's several days into the free agent season. There's no sign of anything happening with Kovalsuck outside of some bloggers and commenters on no-less an esteemed and highly accurate website that is Hockeybuzz talking about him. Dude isn't coming to the NHL. Any rumors of him doing so were likely just efforts from his camp to extort a few million more dollars from a Russian billionaire to stay in the KHL. He's a sissy who left years ago because he couldn't cut it, and has done nothing but play against sub-par competition in the KHL for a few years now. He isn't coming back. And he would suck even if he did. NJ isn't getting anything for him. Move back to reality folks.

Considering the KHL is losing players right and left and all we've heard until this point, there's more evidence to support his leaving than his staying. I'm interested to hear why you're so convinced he's not coming

The point when he said Kovy was a sissy who couldn't hack the NHL should have ended your curiosity.

If the shoe fits. Why do you think he went crying back home to Russia?

He left. Him not being here is the constant state. It doesn't need to be explained, because it is the reality of the situation. The real question is, outside of the hopes and dreams of Devils fandom getting at least some sort of return for the putz, why would you be convinced he is returning to the NHL?

NJ should offer long term, huge money and right before Shero is about to sign it, rip it up and say the contract retired.

You're going to miss the depth signings, certainly the next Bobby Farnham is out there somewhere.
