Kovalchuk, to me, is the most potent, talented and explosive scorer in the league. However, I think that offering him a 12-year deal for between 8-9.5 million per year would be much more economical. Now that this offer has been set on the table though, it almost seems like a done deal. Unless, of course, Kovalchuk himself agrees a downsized salary over a longer time frame. It would be a sacrifice in order for the team to have flexibility and the ability to build a more dynamic squad. I am a HUGE Kovalchuk fan and I hope the best comes out of this situation in the end.
