from Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
This is what I know about the Thrashers-Kovalchuk talks. Optimism aside, Waddell is saying the same thing he was saying in September. If anything, he has backed off a little.
Kovalchuk? This is where it gets interesting. When I asked him following Thursday night’s 5-4 overtime win over Dallas, his initial response was, “Same, I think. You should ask them.” And he went on to talk about how he is “just focusing on my game.” Standard response.
But when asked whether he still believed a deal would get done, neither his tone nor his words were quite as positive as they had been in the past.
“Hopefully,” he said. “But, you know — you never know. It’s all [up to] our owners and management.”
This is how one generally translates that: “I want this amount. Let’s see if they give it to me.”
