Anton Volchenkov and Ilya Kovalchuk share an agent. Jay Grossman has been engrossed (see what I did there) in talks with the Los Angeles Kings lately, as he tries to hash out a contract for the still un-signed prize of this year's free agent market.
But Volchenkov, who signed with the New Jersey Devils earlier in the free agency period, is lobbying Kovalchuk to make a return to Newark. From Fire & Ice:
Volchenkov said he has talked to left wing Ilya Kovalchuk a couple of times since he signed with the Devils.
“I’ll be really happy if he signs here,” Volchenkov said. “He’s a very good player. But it’s not my decision. The decision is his.”
Yep, day 15. This is the biggest news today.

Say what?
Someone tell Volchenkov about the salary cap and how it’s a poor idea.
