I'M A LITTLE PUT OUT THAT THE KINGS PASSED THE FREE AGENT MARKET TO SIGN THIS GUY.

ILYA HAS THE KINGS WHERE HE WANTS THEM;  SIGN HIM OR THE GROWTH CURVE THAT IS SO PRECIOUS TO THE LONG TERM SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION WITH BE BADLY STUNTED AND A YEAR OF CORE PLAYER RETENTION WILL BE WASTED.   

PLAINLY THERE ARE LINE UP NEEDS THAT THE  CURRENT GROUP OF PROSPECTS CAN NOT FILL.  DARE I SAY FROLOV'S STOCK MAY SOAR?  IS THIS WHAT IT MAY COME TO?

EVER JUST WISH ILYA WOULD SIGN WITH CHERNOBYL?  HOW MANY TEAMS WILL SELL THEIR SOUL TO HOP IN BED WITH THE GUY?

AS KOVALCHUK MADNESS SPREADS ACROSS THE NHL LIKE A PLAGUE, FEEL FREE TO POST RUNNING COMMENTS  AND CHIME IN USING OUR EXCLUSIVE  "I AM SORRY, HE'S JUST USING YOU, DARLING" POLL...

VOTE BELOW:   WHO IS THAT POOR SOUL CAUGHT PICTURED IN THE MIDDLE?

WOULD ILYA BE THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEN FOR YOUR TEAM SINCE THEY RAISED THE PRICE OF A BEER OR  OR DOES FLIRTING WITH ILYA MAKE YOUR TEAM FEEL DIRTY?  GO AHEAD, GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST...COMMENTS WELCOME!

AND A BIG WELCOME TO OUR BROTHER FANS ON THE ISLAND, IN PHILLY, (add more clubs here) AND DENVER
