Kovalchuk is the New Situation
5/02/2010
The Jersey shore just got a new situation – but Devils fans aren’t looking for a situation, they’re looking for a “Solution”.
New Jersey Devils land former Thrashers star Ilya Kovachuk.
Kovalchuk, 26, has gone five seasons in a row with at least 40 goals and, with 31 through 49 games this season, is on pace for a sixth consecutive season in that rare offensive air.
Without question, Ilya Kovalchuk is a dynamic offensive player, one that will add a completely new dimension to the New Jersey Devils and lift the production of teammates in the process.
Kovalchuk arrives in New Jersey with defenseman Anssi Salmela, while rookie forward Niclas Bergfors, defenseman Johnny Oduya and junior prospect Patrice Cormier were sent to the Thrashers along with a first round draft pick.
