I know this is going to trigger a lot of people, but Igor gets paid what he wants on a handful of other teams. We just decided to pay him. If I was him, I'm going to ask for that kind of money, especially knowing that I'm in my prime years and behind a team that can play marginal defense and score goals (Not this team), he's got a legit chance.
If Igor's going to waste his prime years playing for this shit team who has had defense issues for so long I can't even remember where they started, then might as well pay him. Who cares. We're buying up washed up D-men and past-prime forwards, keep the chaos going!
