Low risk, high reward. Be interesting to see who he plays with.

Well, Gauthier was obviously not interested. If we couldn't do better than a 7th round pick....
Maybe the risks were not worth the potential rewards...

Either PG had absolutely no interest or Bryan Murray was not going to do Kovy any favors.

I'm sure he would have traded him to us if the offer was good enough, but all else being equal I could also see it being a bit of a f*** you. I think he's happy to go to Pittsburgh. If Murray wanted to stick it to Kovy, he would have traded him somewhere else I think.

Actually, the fact that Murray only got a 7th for him, should tell us there was no market for him.
