Oh no doubt Ilya is hella skilled, he's big, he's strong, he's got great hands...he'd be very scary on the right team. You could pair him with Datsyuk or Ovi or Malkin or Crosby or ANY of the top scorers/assist leaders and he'd contribute...but there's that little thing you know hovering over him which is will he give you 100%?

If I have a team on the brink of making a Cup run, I wouldn't take him because he'll fuck up the chemistry on the team. If on the other hand I have a shit team and am looking to just get into the playoffs sure I'll take him. I think he wins you games in the regular season but goes missing in the playoffs.
