Remember when everyone wanted the blues to bet the farm on Ilya and he chose to get a bogus totally legitimate deal done with the Devils.  And that was it, no one heard from him or them again because they're terrible.  I checked out his stats today and...phew.  

gp     g     a     pts   +/-   who really cares about this stuff?

Compare that to any current blue who's played the whole year

I hate Brad Boyes, ok...I HATE him.  Even his streaky, won't take a shot unless it's a one timer delivered perfectly douche ass is just as productive as Ilya.  You gotta get to our non scoring defensemen and 4th liners to get a player who isn't comparable to this douche.  Bust?
