Bruins Labeled As Front Runners For Kovalchuk.

Ilya Kovachuk to Boston? It's something that's been snowballing for the last week.�

At first it was just a rumor, then general manager Don Sweeney confirmed he'll be sitting down with Kovalchuk's team and wants the Russian forward in Boston next year.�

It didn't stop there as head coach Bruce Cassidy was glowing with positivity when�Kovalchuk was mentioned to him, and Cassidy was head over heels with all the possible line combinations Kovalchuk would bring to the team.�

Now Sports Hub's Ty Anderson has labeled the Bruins as front runners to land the 35 year old.�

Anderson appeared on 98.5fm earlier this week with Toucher & Rich and stated the Bruins are the leading candidates to land the two time 50 goal scorer.�

Are you excited that Kovalchuk could seriously land in Boston?
