Its a Dark Day In Blueland

Our Captain will be gone by the end of the week probably, and all sources are saying the same thing... Kovy's saying he wanted to win in Atlanta was a song and dance routine when he never really considered this a viable place to stay.

Frustrating? Yes. Disrepectfult? Even More.

The man wants to hold this franchise hostage with 20% of the salary cap tied under his belt, and expect us to build a winner... with fourth and third line money left over? You can't be serious, right? Apparently, $10 million a year for 10 years isn't enough to satisfy the man.

I originally thought Kovalchuk was a smart individual who understood what it took to win as a team. After all, the has won every accolade a player can achieve at this point except a Stanley Cup, so one would think he would allow some consessions to get to this dream.

We were all wrong here. Its all about Kovy all the time.

The craziest part about this whole article is that everyone thought he truely cared about this team since he specifically asked the Thrashers to seek out certain players (Afinagenov and Antropov) and we went and got them for him. What does he do in return? If you said he thanked the organization you are wrong, rather he decides to force the team to trade him so he can test the waters as a UFA.

Just lovely.

Anyways, I just hope Waddell can get at least one top 6 player that is really young, a slew of draft picks and previous first round draft pick from a team that has a reputation of knowing where good talent is.

Any predicitons on the trade and where he will go? Lets hear them,
