To New Jersey:
Ilya Kovalchuk
To Washington:
Frans Nielsen
BUF 5 2021
NJ Agrees. We've liked Kovalchuk since the Dispersal Draft and just barely missed out drafting him. Both Nielsen and Kovalchuk haven't really fit in with their respective teams so this is a change of scenery for both players. Kovalchuk being able to play both wing positions gives us more potential line combinations in the top 9, whereas Nielsen was stuck on the 4th line. Thanks for the great talks Shawn.
