ilya wanted a long term deal. so we gave him one to get him signed. im sorry are you guys forgetting that mike richards was 3 years into what a 12 year deal? and carter just finished up his first year in an 11 year deal? long term deals dont mean **** in this league and they just showed it, twice. you need a goaltender to come in, help bobs, communicate with him, we didn't have that in any capacity whatsoever. and jeff carter has been dead weight for 2 1/2 seasons so good riddance, enjoy ohio. The richards deal irked me, its still irking me because all they had to do was take away his captaincy and i would bet my car you'd get the player from 05-07 back in a heartbeat.
