There's still no confirmation that he has signed or will but it has been reported in the New York Post, TSN and Sportnet. Ilya Kovalchuks agent Jay Grossman announced on his twitter that Iyla is close to signing tonight. will have to stay tuned. anything is still possible however.

*-> American legend Mike Modano is reportedly thrilled at the interest being shown in him in a recently interview and said it's not the decesion whether or not to sign with a certain team right now its where or not it's the right decesion to play.

A team with 2 Russian goalies, who could possibly think that is a recipe for winning?
Oh yeah..... the Caps.

Wouldn't be so sure if they're the only ones regretting their goaltending tandem for next season... an injury-prone Finn and a rookie German don't sound too much better, do they Wilson?

What is Seamus Kotyk up to lately?

I'm not too sure about the San jose Sharks choices but it could pay off. I've always thought Nittymaki could be a number one guy and for a shitty Tampa Bay team he did very well. while it may come back to haunt them I'm impressed by Wilsons decesion to stick with the homegrown talent and give him a chance.
