The offseason gives folks plenty of time to speculate and spread stories. I know, the Stanley Cup Finals are still in action, but for the Columbus Blue Jackets, it’s the offseason. And a crazy story has been spreading involving the CBJ and Ilya Kovalchuk.
The Russian winger is reportedly looking at making a return to the NHL. The former #1 overall pick is 34-years-old and his contract in the KHL has expired. He is more than likely stirring up the return rumors to get a better deal in the KHL. But lets say he is actually looking to return to North America.
