Unless something bizarre happens in the next 24-48 hours, Ilya Kovalchuk is all but set to sign a reworked and modified contract with the Devils ending once of the most unusual offseason dramas in recent years. The deal will likely force the Devils to make several moves to clear cap space in order to accommodate Kovalchuk. While no contract has been submitted for league approval, it is expected that the Devils and Kovalchuk will do that on Tuesday.
Here are the Devils players likely to be shipped:
Brian Rolston
Patrik Elias
Bryce Salvador
Colin White
Dainius Zubrus
David Clarkson
Rolston, Elais and White have No Trade Clauses but it appears that Brian Rolston's days with the Devils are numbered. So unless Lou uses his creativity expect lots of trades from the Devils in the coming weeks. Prospects and draft picks are the likely returns value in every deal except for Elias, which could be worth a top prospect and a high draft pick in return.
