I mean, He's not Radulov. At age 33 (34 by next year), how effective would he be anyways.
He says he will explore a return to the NHL this summer.
I bit on him once before but won't again.

Radulov was a much better player when they both played in the KHL. Kovalchuk isn't anywhere near the player he was in his prime.
I believe he needed to be 35 before he could return to the NHL freely. If he wants to return before that, every NHL team has to approve it. I doubt they'd do that when they have the opportunity to block another team from getting a free player.
Yea, I meant from a fantasy perspective.
I meant from an age perspective. 4 years in age difference is a quite a bit. And FWIW, if you compare their first two season, Radulov was on a similar career progression as Kovalchuk before he went to the KHL, and as stated, Radulov significantly outpaced Kovalchuk the last 3 season in the KHL.
True. NHL teams will veto it if they can... only 1 team won't and that will be the team that he signs with. haha.
I think that he should have to play with Las Vegas if he comes to the NHL, so he can't just go to the high-bidder... and Las Vegas has the benefit of paying him a mid-level contract. And another reason I like this is that he cannot just sign with a cup contending team.
I remeber something about the devils having his rights before anyone else. Or atleast they need to give the ok before all other teams accept. Don't remember all the rules

Basically:
there are only three ways for him to return.
1. All thirty teams would grant permission to return to the NHL. He would be a free agent.
2. Kovalchuk can sit out a year and not play hockey anywhere. After then, only the Devils need to grant his permission to return to the NHL. He would be a free agent.
3. Kovalchuk would wait until he's 35. At that point, he's free to come back without any permission. That would be the 2018-19 season
