He is moving back to Russia. He said that he was thinking about it for a while. Announcement came from Lou.
NOW WHAT???
Are we going to trade for someone to cover at least some offensive holes?
Kovy will be playing in KHL for SKA St. Petersburg. Looks like they offered him more money than Devils did. I think we will find it out soon. But everybody bothered: why he did it now - not after last or upcoming season end... Now everyone will hate him for this, like Cavs fans hate Lebron.
From available players I would sign Grabovsky with short term for probation and Brunner from Detroit.
Give them fair amount but not to overpay. Grabovsky was bought out and I think wouldn't demand big bucks.
Let's talk about some cover up after this Kovyscape. Lou is saying that he will try to straighten things up by the start of the season. What really can he do?
This is more shocking than it may seems at the beginning. If Lou wouldn't make some miracle trade(s), we are in deep s..t and at the bottom of conference. Any thoughts on what can be done?
Grabovsky is on my mind now. He has a good speed and would be a good threat. Why don't we try him for short contract first to see how he is performing within Devils.
