Perfect

Isles should trade Ladd for Kovalchuk

It gets us out of Ladd's contract two years early. I'd honestly do it. Ladd has no place in this lineup and Kovalchuk is a nice insurance policy.

Lou Lamoriello says #Isles will place LW Andrew Ladd (LTIR/knee) on waivers for the purpose of re-assigning him to Bridgeport (AHL). Lou says organization did not see enough from Ladd in five-game conditioning stint to believe he's ready to return to NHL. Lou believes he'll clear

Lou Lamoriello would not speculate when I asked if there was concern within organization Andrew Ladd would not be able to play in NHL again because of injuries.

#Isles Lou Lamoriello stresses Andrew Ladd was appraised of plan and approved it. He wants to play in order to get himself back into NHL shape.

#Isles Lou Lamoriello said putting Andrew Ladd on waivers is a deviation from original plan when Ladd was sent on conditioning assignment. No timetable as to how long Ladd might remain with Bridgeport.

I caught parts of the last few BPort games, and I gotta say, Ladd looked slow even for the AHL.

I can't imagine they have anything left of value to trade. They have traded so many 1st rd picks in the last 6 or 7 years that when Malkin & Crosby are done in a few years its going to be a long long rebuild in Pittsburgh. Let's be honest no UFA is signing there once those two are done or in a steep decline
- Vukota

Really seems the prospects pool is thin at this point.

Apparently Lou didn't either

If they want to take Kovy and his contract I think the Kings would be giving the Pens something

sorry I meant Pageau.

If he looked bad in Bport and stayed in AHL for rest of season (lets say) wonder if Ladd would consider hanging them up? But also know too much money left to pass on.
