And fair enough, I've always felt the Devils to be a good organization on a downturn, even considering the SCFs.
In this case though, I kind of empathize for the fans as one player has jerked around their entire club for seemingly little gain and what gain there is seems entirely personal.
I dont know. All of the consequences to the Devils for Ilya's sake and then to have him do this, it isnt even a stab in the back, its like stabbing the whole club, staff and fanbase in the back just to spin them around and laugh in their faces.
Maybe the fact that we cant really deduce his reasons at this point are playing a role in it for me.
Iggy did what he did for obvious reasons, so you could at the very least close the book on it and move along. Here you've got Ilya bailing really early into a massive contract, leaving a ton of money on the table and screwing his franchise for a few years for no apparent reason.
