That’s true, good catch.

I believe Kovalenko was born in Raleigh.

Obviously it would have impacted the Avs, as I’m sure neither Nichushkin nor Kovalenko have dual citizenship like Malkin does. Prishchepov might because he had been playing in Canada when drafted, and Georgiev might have been okay since he was born in Belarus. However, the plan to expel Russian players would have clearly focused on Ovechkin (who doesn’t have dual citizenship) – and honestly, that might have worked given his high profile and chase of the goal record. We’ll never know at this point, but definitely a curious “what if” to consider for a while.
