One for Kovalev and another for Ovechkin.

Kovalev for a 7th round. That’s because they don’t have an 11th round anymore.

Maybe we can talk Robert Lang and Martin Straka into coming back too and re-unite the best second line ever.

So he’d be a terrible match on Sid’s wing (Sid needs the puck as much as possible, not a winger who hogs it). He might work well with Staal though. I’m sure Shero has held off to this point to see if there are better options, as getting Kovy will suck up a lot of the remaining cap space. I believe he’s viewed as the fallback option.
