Talks are heating up. Pierre LeBrun reported earlier today that it’s down to 4 teams to get in on Ilya Kovalchuk.

Expectation is that J.P. Barry, agent for Ilya Kovalchuk, will meet with the top four contenders for the UFA’s services today _ Boston, L.A., SJ and Vegas _ to advance proceedings along.
