Kovalev To KHL

Alexei Kovalev in action as a member of the Ottawa Senators
In a move that didn't really come as a surprise, former Senator Alexei Kovalev signed a deal with Atlant Mystichi of the KHL. The deal for the 38 year old certainly means his NHL days are now behind him, as it's doubtful any NHL club that has a TV had any interest in the enigmatic forward. He spent two ultra frustrating years with the Sens before being dealt to the Pens at the trade deadline and likely will always be remebered as one of the most talented guys to ever lace them up, without ever really showing it on the ice consistently.

I personally will remember a few things from his stay here:
  • Seeing how excited the fan base was with his intial arrival
  • Being at SBP to see him notch is 1000th point in person
  • His fight with Francois Beauchemin
  • His moonwalk
