Koivu and Kovalev

A report out of Russia says Montreal has decided to let go of Saku Koivu and make Alex Kovalev the captain.

According to Sovietsky Sport, the Canadiens have told Kovalev he will be awarded the captaincy if he signs a one-year deal worth between $6 million and $7.5 million.

The above has been forwarded to me so much and irked me so much that I had to post something about it.

  1. Do you think Kovalev has played well enough to earn that money?
  2. Do you think a player who shows up to 1 out of every 2 or 3 games should be a captain?
  3. Do you think that a newspaper more than 7000 kms away from Montreal would hear about this before the Montreal media who know what the team is going to do before they do it?
  4. Should this be passed on as "news"?
The answer to all of the above is no. Stupidity at work.
