Didnt know he allegedly said he didn't want to go.

Get ready for the Yak bust and KHL comments even though KHL teams are folding and not playing players, and that threat is all but dead.

What would you do with Yak? You cant explore a trade because right now his value is low, and the ROI would not be worth it.

- ImThatGuy


I'd keep yak, hope he resigns for 2-3 years at a reasonable rate, and play him on the first line telling him to focus on scoring and just be a non liability on defense. see how he does then go from there

Except the guys that received the top grades are the guys that have played incredibly well. Just because the team results have been comparable to F-------, doesn't mean that the guys that have worked and performed the hardest have failing grades.

but judging from your comments, i don't expect you to understand that.

i can live with the couple of A'd given out... but there are a few b's there that are suspect... mainly cause by miscasting by coach/management.

So were judging them on point production alone, basically. Ok.

Yes. The two 4th liners with the only A's got there because of point production.

I'd bundle him with Pittsburgh's first and a mid-high prospect for a defensemen we can rely on.

He needs to play on the first line, where he doesn't need to carry the puck and create the offence on his own, like we're leaving him to do. Get in the zone, set up for a shot.

I made people cry when I was at the U of A just as a TA. If I had to stick to the "D is for Degree" marking scheme of public University I would have handed out more F's

You should hope Chartier gets that kind of special treatment. Maybe Draisaitl can make him into something
- ChetManly

Hey Rourke Chartier doing just fine without him...4th in WHL points with 36g & 21a 57pts.

The issue is using Yak as trade bait, you may have to "Over pay" for that D-man because of his value right now.

Hence why there is a first and a mid-high prospect?
