If we were to trade Kovalev plus, would you be willing to take on Martin Erat's contract in order to get Hornqvist? Cus I really doubt Nashville would take on Kovalev without dropping a salary. They are on an ownership imposed budget form what I've heard.

4.5 million with about 6 years remaining. Keep in mind, its not just a totally useless contract, he is a consistent 50 point scorer and an extremely exciting player to watch.
