The Los Angeles Kings bringing Ilya Kovalchuk back over to North American soil could be a game changing move. The Kings were the winners of the Kovalchuk lottery, ending years of the speculation over his return.

And a Kovalchuk returned to form, is far more valuable than the casual onlooker may assume.
