Are you dumping salary here or are you actually trying to get Kovalchuk?

You can get him for much less than this. You can only acquire his rights. You need to renegotiate this deal.

[oilerfan]

i know what i'm doing..... i'm doing this because if i get kovy i don't need vanek and this is giving me cap space to be able to sign kovy for what he is worth.

Take out Stafford and Gragnani. Then add a pick something from Colorado to even the deal. You dump salary and get a player/prospect/pick whatever, and they get Vanek.

No redo it. Please by PM

[radiohead]

So is this deal vetoed?

Buffalo acquired Kovalchuk but hasn't even signed him yet. So basically, Vanek, Stafford and Gragnani for nothing. :S
