I'd imagine there would be some sort of side deal where Gillis is able to work out an extension if this was to go down.

Joe Thornton went for something similar so this isn't as far fetched as some people think. Kovalchuk is asking for top dollar to stay in Atlanta and I'd imagine that number will decrease if he goes to a playoff team.

Atlanta would have to be at least half retarded to take that.

I would agree with this.
Look at who they have now. They have a lot of talent up front and decent rookie goalie who is holding his own in the big league. To the Thrashers, rebuilding is almost done. Why tear it apart by trading away Kovaichuk.

you never know.
Milbury was crazy enough to trade a bunch of stars and Keenan let Luongo go.
Would love to see Kovo here... that is if we can get him to sign a long term deal

Because he won't sign there?

You know there's something wrong when you're thrown top dollar to sign and you're still taking your sweet ass time.

Hm. This would be fantastic, but I don't think it would happen.

Mind you, I was wrong when I heard about Lu & Bert...

:high:

666th post :evil

i would think there would have to be 1 more aspect to that deal

but it would be pretty sweet

I'd make that deal in a second. Kovalchuk for a washed up winger, a goalie prospect that will never make our team and...well, a 1st rounder is valuable but what the fuck...it's Kovalchuk.

hope that rumor is true

Kovalchuk is the game breaker player we have been missing. With someone like him that can go end to end and score highlight reel goals would make the Canucks more complete and gives them top cup contender status instently.

rumor or not, demitra + c. schneider + 1st round pick isn't a bad package.

Went to the Canucks Save-On-Foods Private Practice today. Pretty boring. Nothing exciting happened. I hope Luongo doesn't get injured, because our backup looked downright shitty at practice. Must have the flu or something. In fact, most of the Canucks looked tired. They had the family Christmas skate yesterday. Maybe that had something to do with it. Hopefully, they'll come out with a bit more energy when they face the Blues tonight.

i want us to avenge that brutal 6-1 loss

its only a good deal if infct kovie stays
