Getting benched in the playoffs and walking out on your last NHL team might be a red flag. I dunno, just my .02.

oh for sure. you know he looks at some of these posts and just laughs. but still he needs to pretend a bit better sometimes. we know it's pro wrestling but don't rub our faces in it.

When in doubt during a slow news day in the NHL, just put up a kovy return story, over 100 comments in an hour. Job well done!!

No. He won't be joining the Leafs. Why in the living frig would the Leafs bother with him?
- weirdoh

If we can somehow sign him with the intention of trading his ass out of town, I'd be fine with it.

Who am I kidding, no I wouldn't be. The guy is a selfish ass, who I wouldn't piss on if he was on fire. I wouldn't want his name to sully all the good things the Leafs management has been doing, even if he got us a free first rounder. (frank) him and his "let's all leave the ice before the Canadian national anthem is played" attitude.
The guy is the epitome of everything I hate in the modern 'professional' athlete.

I believe all teams in the league must give the OK.

and the waiver wire as well I believe.

Who would want this wingnut???

Oh... Toronto.

Sorry, gotahca.



So he is breaking ANOTHER contract to join the 30th place team? He is leaving the playoffs in the KHL is to play mean nothing games in North America.

IF... and thats a stretch.... IF that is true, then just what baggage is coming with him? Russian mafia? Thats what they said dogged Pavel Bure for years.

Everywhere else is saying he's still unlikely to come back
- ehabs9

yeah but do they have russian sources like Ek does ?

I CAN'T START TO SAY ALL THE THINGS I WOULD SAY TO THIS GUY IF HE SET ONE SKATE IN NJ!! I KNOW ITS A BUSINESS AND MONEY RULES BUT THE WAY HE KILLED THIS TEAM IS UNREAL!!I WOULD BUY A TICKET JUST TO BOO HIS SORRY ASS
- ZYWGOLDEN.10

The owners would love us for buying tickets to "boo his sorry ass". It's how they'd pay his contract. Better idea boycott the rock and send nasty messages on twitter. Not that he is coming back anyway.

do what now?

Kovy return with a "leafs" to give it an extra boost.

No mention of waivers in your blog.....

KHL West Semifinal tied 1-1 and he's leaving the team....character guy.

Eklund's Russian source is Sergei Eklundov (E4).

I always liked watching Kovalchuck play hockey, hope he comes back soon, there's never too many exciting g players in the NHL.

Ok Eklund, I'm not one to give you crap about your rumours. This is a rumour site, I like reading the dead on and far fetched alike. Always fun to think about but come on, at least think about what you write.

Your first paragraph indicated he'll be back in the NHL this week. That he would sign now to be able to play in the playoffs. Then you go and mention the Leafs. At least if you are gonna talk out your rear end try to make some sense. Just add a sentence that says he would sign with Lou for a year for a bonus check then traded to a playoff team and back to Toronto in 2017.

Absolutely dumb scenario but at least plausible versus impossible.

who wouldn't want the leading goal scoring in the NHL.....from 12 years ago.

Keep this douche out of our game

Seriously Ek? Come now....... Write something better then this bs.

Yeah I get how he rubbed some people the wrong way with the whole free agency fiasco ( strange how Brad Richards was so quickly forgiven), but people take it way too personally and probably still will, at least if your one of the 29 teams he doesn't with.

This has to be the worst click bait I've seen in a long time!

He's signing with Toronto on Sunday so they can trade him Monday.

Until it's time to go back to Stamkos to the Leafs reports tomorrow.

Toronto won't rest until they have 30% of all draft picks this year. Uncle Lou can make it happen.
