It is but I would only do it if they got him dirt cheap
- Vukota

I was big on giving Yakupov a shot but like you said it'd have to be for the right price and there's no way MacT trades him for "dirt cheap". The potential is there for him to go to another team and absolutely tear it up and he's not dumb enough to put himself in that position.

I also don't see the NEED for him right now. Why fix something that ain't broke? Okposo is out but we have the depth to overcome that barring any more injuries. We were faking injuries for facks sake to get forwards playing time

Edmonton will not just give him away, so be prepared to give up Reinhart, so not worth it, a depth dman thats all. Ek no matter how many times you print this it is still not coming true.

I think if the habs gave up Tinordi plus a pick it may get them yak...

Oilers fans would have laughed in my face at the beginning of the season for this but i dont know if it would take much more.

Eller plus a pick for yak? Honestly dont see many teams willing to give up much more than that kind of a package for Yakupov. Unless Edmonton wants guys like Parenteau Desharnais or something along those lines which i doubt that they do.

I'd consider it with other parts maybe from both sides.

Yak isn't getting moved...he's starting to show signs of life the past few weeks.

Wouldn't that increase his trade value? Something has to be done over there, no?

- jake24242


again it's the santo/winnik dilemma. We love these 3rd/4th liner guys who actually play the right way. In reality, Polak is a 5th D on a good team. Never been more than that on STL and he's on our 2nd pairing. i'm not saying he's crap; but i do move him for anything more than a 3rd. That's just the way i see it. He has 1 more year on his deal.

you are absolutely right about him being our only defensive D though.
