New Jersey Devils win Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes

One of the best teams in hockey, just got a little better.  I mean a lot better.  The New Jersey Devils acquired Ilya Kovalchuk, Anssi Salmela, and the Thrashers’ 2010 second round pick from Atlanta for the Devils’ 2010 first and second round picks, John Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, and Patrice Cormier on Thursday night.

Obviously, the prize for the Devils was getting back Anssi Salmela who was in their system last year before getting traded to the Atlanta Thrashers for Niclas Havelid in March, 2009.  In 29 games this year, the 25-year old already has five points and a plus/minus rating of four.

Hold on, our information seems to be incorrect…

Apparently, Ilya Kovalchuk was the targeted player.  The Russian has 328 goals in the past eight seasons and only Alex Ovechkin has more goals than him in the past five.  Okay, that makes more sense.  This guy is good.

Kovalchuk turned down a a 12-year, $101 million deal with the Thrashers during the off season because he wants to negotiate a long-term deal with a franchise that has a longer track record of success.  That narrows it down to every single NHL team, but Atlanta.

Bergfors and Cormier were two of the Devils top prospects and the price may prove to be a little tough to swallow for a player who might not be back next year, but New Jersey has a legitimate shot at winning the Stanley Cup this season, so it’s definitely worth the gamble.

  5. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I a lot prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool functions like ‘Mixview’ that let you speedily see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one particular of individuals will center on that item, and an additional set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you discover other people with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to some playlist produced based on an amalgamation of what all your good friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will probably be relieved to understand you are able to avoid the public from seeing your individual listening habits if you so choose.
