Torn on this, I mean the guy has 4 assists in 12 games with Abby

Maybe prove yourself!

Other aspect, he can’t be worse than Bains and he got a shot. We are lacking size and Ilya has it.

I would’ve given him at least a chance.

He must think he is at least KHL material, otherwise he is draft eligible by the Russian army. They give everyone a shot.
