As of right now, that pick is the #3 overall pick and could potentially be the #1 overall pick if Toronto continues their sucky ways.
The Bruins would be out of their minds to make such a deal.
The Bruins have all the leverage in this negotiation. Kovalchuk is a free agent at the end of the year and if he walks away from the Thrashers, they get nothing.
Trading their number 1 pick just doesnt make any sense.
And let's be serious for a second. Kovalchuk wont turn this Bruins team into a competitor for the Stanley Cup.
This season is a wasted season. Its time to consider it a loss and wait for next year.
