Alex Kovalev, perhaps one of the greatest stickhandlers the game has ever seen, feels like he has a little more left in the tank. Despite not playing in the NHL since a 14-game stint with the in the 2012-13 season, the 42-year-old is willing to make a comeback if a team asks him.A member of the 1,000-point club in the NHL, Kovalev expre sed his interest in returning to the league in an interview with ( ):Do you think you could have been playing a few more seasons in the National League?"Yes, easily. That's why I keep myself in shape. Perhaps I will receive an invitation to next season. "You still believe that?Of course. Why not? By cons, attitudes have changed much in the league. Everything is about the young players. Provided they get stronger and they are spinning rapidly, that's all that matters.

Kovalev didnt play in a league of any kind last season, stating that hes been mostly playing 3-on-3 hockey in a mens league. In 2013-14, Kovalev put up 52 points while playing for Visp in the Swi s second division.He had five points in 14 games in his last appearance in the NHL with Florida.When he was in his prime, though? Man Its probably safe to say weve seen the last of the former great in the NHL, unle s maybe he can find whatever fountain of youth bathes in during the offseason. Gabe Speier Jersey
