Tässä tulee englanninkielinen versio tästä huhusta:
* Atlanta Trashers GM Don Waddell is considering allowing Nr. 1 overall pick Ilya Kovalchuk to play this year for the Trashers and is trying to get 18-year old Russian signed before Aug. 15. After the draft, Don Waddell was not even thinking of letting Kovalchuk play but he's seems be considering the possibility of having the sniper in the line up come opening day.
"I'm going to pursue it and see where it leads," said Waddell. "There's a lot of pros to him coming over here this year, but there's pros to him spending another year in Russia, too. We all know how tough this league is for 18-year-olds. Everybody talks about these kids who win rookie of the year, but the (Alex) Tanquays and those guys are 21." *
Itse ainakin toivoisin, että Kovalchuk (onko sillä lempinimi??) pääsisi pelamaan jo ensi kaudella. Onhan noita nuoria poikia NHL:ssä jotka myös pärjää, Gaborik...
