Habs took a run at Kovalchuk in 2001...
Well, I was watching NHL All Acess earlier today, it was featured on the Thrashers. It went back to the draft days for Heatley and Kovalchuk. On the Kovalchuk draft day, Wadell was talking to Montreal's GM at the time (whose name is escaping me) and said "Your package is the best on the table, but we've decided it's in our clubs intrests to keep this player".
So I guess my question is was there any buzz about this in Montreal at the time, and any idea what the offer may have been?
