pGM Bryan Murray is trying to lower the expectations on Alex Kovalev./p p"We look at Alex maybe in a little different light than we should sometimes," Murray said of the veteran winger. "He has a high level of skill, and I think we look at him as a guy who can take the puck and do what he wants when he wants to. The NHL is not that way. I thought he played well most of the time last year for us, in that he plays more of a complementary role now."/p pThe problem with that is Kovalev will again make $5 million this season, and that's not "complimentary" player money. It's star money. Also, even at 37, you can be sure the proud and confident Russian doesn't consider himself a member of the supporting cast.
