Acccording to TSN and the Fan 590, Bryan Murray makes his first splash on the free agent market by signing forward Alexei Kovalev. Wow, I am really shocked. Then, I feel evil. In your face Hab fans! Murray will speak to the media at 4:30 PM ET. More to come include term and money.
UPDATE 4:00: It’s a 2 year deal
UPDATE 4:12: I’m hearing it’s a deal worth $5 million/year. Wow
UPDATE 4:14: Yup, 2 year, $10 million deal. It looks like Heatley may be gone along with Picard or Smith. Or even Kelly. Must congrats Sens Chirp for first reporting it. I had been told the Sens might make a move today but I thought it would be Bertuzzi. More to come folks.
