Kovalev on the move?

RDS reports that Bob Gainey has met with Alex Kovalev to ask him to stay in Montreal. Is this just Gainey trying to get Kovalev to think about his game or is there a possible trade in the works?

What’s the opinion out there? Where do you think Kovalev would go if this does in fact lead to a trade?
