from Kevin Allen of Mucking and Grinding at USA TODAY,
Clearly Waddell wants to havet Kovalchuk signed before the season because he becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer. When he faced a similar situation with Hossa two seasons ago, he went into the season without a new deal and Waddell was unable to convince him to sign. Waddell had to deal him at the trade deadline.
The Thrashers have also pondered signing free agent Nikolei Zherdev, although Waddell declined to say where that stood. My guess is that Zherdev could get his best deal in the Kontinental Hockey League.
