Now what?

Classic.

Episode V: The NHL Strikes Back!

It wont happen but if the King's signed him now it would become the most epic,all time heist ever.

Ilya goes home tonight and thinks that this is a message from GOD.

hahahahahahahahahaha

The Velvet Merkin is pretty sure this is just going to mean that Ilya signs another deal with NJ for a higher cap hit.

Wow.

The NHL just took a step towards avoiding another lockout.

They'll find a way to keep in in NJ, but it's going to be more expensive to keep him now.

Grossman; Hey Dean, it's Jay...umm, there was this little snag and well umm... Ilya just wanted to say hi and didn't really mean anything about that comment he said about you...
