Might be a complete rumour but promising numbers in the KHL. He's a centre that could dramatically change our team if his scoring translates. Maybe a Sutter trade?

No, not a Sutter trade.  If true, I'd say it's a depth move.  Canucks may be rebuilding but you still want depth so rookies earn their spots.  

 

Still don't get why everyone thinks Sutter gets traded.  He's the guy you want shouldering the hard minutes.

He probably read it on Reddit.  There's a random guy there speculating on it....

 

Yea, I don't know anything about Kovar and I won't put to much thought into some random reddit rumour.

@RetroCanuckThanks for the +1, but your thread may end up getting locked because random Reddit posts don't usually count as reliable sources.  ;)

hence the rumour but I also heard it from a semi reliable source. Yours was the only thing I could find on google and knew it wasn't that reliable. Plus its just so random it has to be true haha

Not my decision either way.  That's admin/Mod territory.

 

As for Kovar, I'd worry about his lack of size at centre.

 

*edit*  Hockeydb has him listed at the wrong size.  He's actualy around 216 lbs., not 171.

sounds like he's speedy though and I know its not your decision. If it does get locked I hope its reopened if he is in fact signed. It may be a rumour but with something so random and whats happening in the KHL it has a very good chance of being true

We'll know soon enough.  The KHL is in their off-season already.

Where would he fit in the line-up?

 

Eliteprospects have him listed as 5'11 216lbs. If true, then I would say he slots right with the Sedins. Some pretty good stats in the KHL.

Kovar is currently playing in the world championship. He plays tomorrow and if he is signed my guess is it will be announced on the 9th.

5'10, 171lb, point a game in the K. Awesome!

 

Just the plug we need to keep our soft as butter rep intact.

 

I sure as hell hope this is just a crappy reddit rumour.

You don't know this player, do you?

 

He's not 171lb - he's more like 215lb.
