According to Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada the Kings badly want Ilya Kovalchuk. However they weren’t able to back him off of his demands for 100 million dollars. The Kings refused to give him that because they were scared it would render them incapable of signing Drew Doughty/Jack Johnson to extensions.

So Islander fans this poses an interesting question…Would you give Ilya Kovlachuk 100 million dollars?

According to the LA time the Kings are out of the bidding for the services of Russian sniper Ilya Kovalchuk.

If they indeed are then that would leave the Isles and Devils by themselves in the bidding for the high scoring winger. Things should be really interesting in Islanders Country in the next day or two.
