i dont know why these Filatov rumors are so rampant, do you really think MG is gonna dump a depth dman for a russian with a bad attitude? he aint coming here period.

Bad attitude? Try reading some of his interviews. He was loaned off to CSKA Moscow last year because he barely got ice time due to Hitchcock and he simply asked the GM if he could play one more year in Russia to further his development. He didn't demand or request it, he simply asked and the GM agreed with him. He's got loads of talent and has said in interviews he is playing in North America this year no matter what. All of that aside we're not getting Bieksa for him. Filatov is worth way more then a overpaid mistake-prone #4-5 d-man which is exactly why Columbus asked for Ehroff for Filatov.

Their owner Charles Wang is loaded, not happening. Atlanta offered Ilya the same contract 100 mill for 10 years, he didn't accept that one. Don't see him accepting this one either.
