He's into you, he's just not that in to you...
In a discussion today on the "Leaf's Lunch" program on the FAN590 radio in Toronto, Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke was asked if he was in the Kovy-Stakes...
His answer was "no," and it had to do with the sheer numbers of the deal. Burke and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos disagreed on the terms that they've heard through the grapevine- Burke has heard he's turned down 8 years/US$80M, Kipper has heard 12 years/US$100M...
Here's the interview, thanks to our friends at Sportsnet...
The HQ would have figured that the Leafs wouldn't be interested in Kovalchuk ((or the other way around)), since the Buds are in no condition to make a Cup run this season... or any other season at the moment...
We're still looking at Detroit, Chicago ((as a rental)), Philadelphia, and Boston.
Mark March 3rd on your calendar as Kovy will be trading sweaters with someone else.
