 The Latest on Kovalev - Habs trying to move him?
The Montreal Gazette is reporting on the latest news with regards to Alexei Kovalev mystery saga that continues to drag on.

RDS reports that Bob Gainey has met with Alex Kovalev to ask him to stay in Montreal.  Is this just Gainey trying to get Kovalev to think about his game or is there a possible trade in the works? 

 What's Kovalev Worth - Have your say
The Montreal Canadiens struggles continue and many Hab fans are voicing their displeasure with Alexei Kovalev. It is well known that under the right cir*****stances Kovalev is an elite NHL player but for some reason at the present time he is playing very poorly and it appears that he is very short on confidence.

 Desperate Times in Habs Land; Does Kovalev Needs to Go?
The entire hockey world knows that this is the Montreal Canadiens centennial season and expectations for Les Canadiens are higher than ever! Like many other Habs fans I witnessed their last two games this past weekend (losses to Buffalo and Toronto) with much concern. This is a team that is severely lacking intensity, motivation and urgency. Just a year ago the Habs were the surprise of the NHL, storming up the standings with Alexei Kovalev leading the way amidst the chants of MVP at the Bell Centre. A year later Kovalev (with the exception of his MVP all-star game performance) is dragging this Canadiens team down with his uninspired and unproductive play.
