Ya that's not going to happen. If the Bruins wanted Kovy it would have happened. MTL didn't offer him some contact no one could match, no contender made a serious play for him.

Montreal took a guess on him. And since they had cap flexibility and nothing to loose at this point they gave him a call. Team were afraid of kovalchuk long term inactivity and since almost everyteam who are in playoff contention are tight against the cap no one would take the risk of wasting money on him. But now thing are different, he look like the great players he use to be. He will draw a log of interest around the league by the deadline. Game after game he keep competing at a higher level and showing to everyone that he still got it.

Im annoyed the Bs didnt take a shot at him, but no chance they trade their best prospect for him. Or any other team for that matter

I agree on that i don’t think team will give prospect for him but i think that some team will be welling to pay a second round for him. Is contract make him a high prize players. He won’t affect the cap and the team won’t need to gave some players back for salary purpose of the cap.
