The New Jersey Devils are less than one month away from being able to sign a former star. The team plans to move Ilya Kovalchuk to the highest bidder. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been a rumored destination.
Ilya Kovalchuk could be just weeks away from being an NHL player again. New Jersey Devils general manager Ray Shero says it will take until July 1st until he is eligible to come back. Despite that, this hasn’t stopped rumors from going wild for months, speculating where Kovalchuk might end up.
