No Heatley, No Kovalchuk?
Translation cleaned up a little from Sports Express: Apparently Ilya´s not signing until Dany is signed.
Kovalchuk remains in Russia if Heatley leaves " Atlanta"?
Forward Ilya Kovalchuk who during transatlantic lock-out supported " Ak the Leopard " , has not decided on his future club. As it became known " SE", the best sniper of NHL--2003/04 negotiates with three Russian commands - " Chemist", HK the Ministry of Internal Affairs and " Avant guarde". At the same time the forward does not exclude an opportunity of returning to " Atlanta".
The Situation becomes complicated that Kovalchuk´s friend and clubmate from " Atlanta" and " Ak the Leopard " Canadian Dany Heatley can have complexities with the conclusion of the new contract. If as a result the Canadian will not sign the agreement, the probability is great that Kovalchuk will continue career in Russia. During recent control game of " Chemist" and " Magnitogorsk" the hockey player long about something talked to one of heads of situated near Moscow club, the correspondent " SE" Paul SAVCHIK informs.
- My plans are not definite yet, - has told yesterday Kovalchuk to the correspondent " SE" to Alexander SHAPIRO. - While I prepare for a season under the individual program. In my opinion, the contract with " Atlanta" Heatley, most likely, will sign. My situation will clear up within the next few days.
