The return of Kovalchuk to the NHL appears to be almost a certainty at this point. The Russian forward has previously stated his desire to make the move back to the NHL and there were even talks about a potential return before this season, though such a move evidently never panned out.

If there were any doubts about whether Kovalchuk still had what it takes to keep pace in the NHL, his play in PyeongChang should have helped put those thoughts to rest.
In six games, Kovalchuk scored five goals and added two assists in the Olympic Athletes from Russia's gold medal triumph. He can still shoot the puck and would be a boost to any offense.
Can't get used to this...

Sad day b'y...

Hope youre not mocking me. It would be nice to see another leaf fan with an ounce of respect for the team. Plekanec has been one of the dirtiest (frank)s the leafs have played in the last 15 years. Not to mention hes probably one of the cancers on Montreal. Fighting his own teammates in Montreal, the embellishing, slashing and slew footing. (frank) him |

Lou: Hey Shanny, I've got Bergevin on the phone - Plekanek deal is done - just need your go ahead.
Shanny: Tell he we need him to retain 50% of the slary or we can't do the deal.
Lou: I've crunched the numbers - we don't need them to retain.
Shanny: I know - but let's not pass up the chance to screw the Habs.
Lou chuckles, takes phone off mutes:
Lou: Marc, I'm going to need you to retain 50%
Marc: I like rainbows!
- Atomic Wedgie
God knows this is no way "screws" the Habs.
But I like Bergevin's take on this. |

A lot of you are overly dramatic, the Leafs gave up practically nothing for a rental.
They have so much more coming down the pipeline, it’s not a big deal guys. |

Trash

Meh, we need some trash. THe only guy with any attitude on our team is Kardi? Just as long as he doesn't take dumb, Polak-esque penalties I don't care. It just drives other teams crazy |

Lou will hopefully tell him to shave and ditch the turtle neck leaf nation doesn't need that distraction...
