don't worry, i tweeted it. the process...has begun.

I figured someone has to take some initiative since I know the Sabres sure won't.

Maybe this will lead to some campaign to actually get him here?

Hockeybuzz has it rumored that L.A. is about to or has acquired the rights to Kovy. Stay tuned...

per hockeybuzz.....

* There are "rights rumors" starting to circulate, and while I have heard the Kings may have either acquired Kovalchuk's rights, or are close to acquiring them....I have yet to receive confirmation of either.

The Kovy/Kings deal will happen sooner or later....might as well be sooner.

Sorry IPW, I don't want him. For what he offers night in and night out he is not worth Crosby or OV money.

I was at the game News Years here when the Sabres played the Thrashers and I don't think he has ever hear the words back check or defense.

Not for 10 Mil.

The only way he gets 10 million is in the KHL. Any NHL team that throws 10 mil at his is retarded.

Amen. I was at the game and Atlanta had a 3-0 lead and the Sabres came back in OT to win it. He likes to play offense and when his team gets ahead he wants more points and doesn't play defense at all.

He is asking for way too much money.

Hey, if the Sabres could somehow manage to get him for around 6-7 mil, I would be just fine with it.

I am hearing he signed with LA for 10 years 4.5 a year
He said, "It was never about the money. I knew I could get more elsewhere or even here, but it would handcuff the team from getting other players. My goal is to win a cup. If I can't live on 4.5 mil a year I have some real problems" ok maybe I was napping when I "heard" that.

Why would the Kings trade for his rights? He has stated that he wants to wait until 7-1. Maybe they want to sign him be the end of the draft and give the fans something to cheer about.

Maybe so, But I had no problem with them cheaping out on Campbell at all. To be honest Drury didn't exactly earn his check last year either. So maybe Darcy isnt as dumb as we all think he is.

Edit IPW I agree, for that money it would be OK with me.
