NHLTR: Ilya Kovalchuk ready to sign new offer; 3 potential destinations

Ilya Kovalchuk was once the biggest sniper in the NHL, and now, he's been released from his contract and is looking for a new home. According to Darren Dreger of TSN, Kovalchuck has received several offers, including from the Boston Bruins.

The 36-year-old Russian has been struggling this season, being in and out of the lineup in Los Angeles. The Kings have decided to move on from Kovalchuk, even though his cap hit of over $6 million still remains on the cap for this season and next.

Kovalchuk is expected to sign for the league minimum for the remainder of this season and the following teams have made offers for his services:

1. Boston Bruins
2. Colorado Avalanche
3. Washington Capitals

Boston and Washington appear to be the favourites as Kovalchuk is looking to finish this season at a cup parade in the spring. With only 3 goals on the season, some fan bases are wondering - what's the point?
