No amount of being French gets MTL to take on 2.95m x 2 year capdump
We like Kovacevic so if we cant get value we'll keep him if for no other reason he's Xhekaj's best friend , close with Slafkovsky and Guhle as well.
After Savards gone if there's no market for Kovacevic i see MTL offering him a 1-2 year deal at 1-1.25m in a Wideman type mentor role.
That said we might move him if we got an offer worth doing so
Otherwise we'll just put Struble in the minors and keep Kovy
Kovacevic for Djibril Toure the undrafted 6'7 RD who might be a good long term Laval Rocket Captain given the time frame for his development is 3-5 years minimum similar to Kovacevic at his age. We get a similar type stay at home defensive D in a couple years .
Kovacevic for Toure and a 5th round pick in 2025 would work
We could likely get more but a 6'7 Montreal Born Giant to play in Laval has value(given he's an undrafted pick its found money )
