St. Louis Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong recently spoke with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, admitting that the team does have an interest in Ilya Kovalchuk. The Blues are looking to improve, like every NHL team, and are curious about what Kovalchuk still has left in his return to the league.
Via NHL.com, here are Armstrong’s comments:
“Always looking to improve our team. We’re like all teams. [Kovalchuk] is 35 years old, there’s risk involved with players of that age. But he could be Jaromir Jagr. He could start slowing down at 41. Or he could come back and hit the wall.
