Kovalchuk: Reports out of Atlanta are saying that the Thrashers are going to turn things up in contract negotiations with Kovalchuk this week. The Thrashers do not want any chance of Kovalchuk hitting the free agency market next July.
Jmess: I don't see any chance of Kovalchuk signing with the Thrashers this summer. I think him resigning will all hinge on how well him and Antropov play together, and the Thrashers record. If the Thrashers make the playoffs or are very close to it then I think he will re-sign but if they are in the basement again I think he'll be walking out the door. It's clear Kovalchuk is ready to win and if he feels like he won't get that chance with the Thrashers he'll be gone.
