You know what's funny, Yakopuv is still 3rd in scoring for his draft year.
Even after Edm has misused him and screwed his development.

You know what's funnier?

Figuring out who is here to drive eks hits up to keep his site popular.

The oiler fans, of which 2 of 30 regular commenters have spent actual money to support. The 4 flyers fans whom have spent cash or the 32 moronic Habs fans...

If I get banned it will be like my first 3 years. Watch and laugh while I watch and laugh at another site that let me post an occasional opinion.

That was a piss poor draft year for forwards, so I can see that. Some solid D tho.

You're right. There's no realistic deal, because if you think LD is going to get you an elite defenseman, you've hit your head on something. He's been a good player, worth every bit of the hype, but when people here are talking about LD or Hall for a Kieth, Doughty, or Weber, it makes me believe you're seriously overvaluing your players. In no universe does a great LW (the Hall scenario mentioned earlier) = a star defenseman. You are aware that other teams also know that a championship is built from the back end, right?

"Blah blah blah

Oiler fans are overvaluing their players something something "

Yawn..

At least Read the words before posting if you don't like looking like a fool. No one ever said ld or hall alone could get doughty. In no post. At anytime.
No one even said they could get an oel or subban without serious additions.

Some People get so desperate to troll or try and diminish someone else's intelligence, they tend to dismiss the actual facts of the discussion

856 > 1980

It's hard to say who is a bigger bust from that 2012 draft.

Griffin Reinhart or Yakupov

Easy enough to peg yak’s max trade value … the mid-first and 2nd the oilers paid for rienhart last year.

Lard Eller. I'm not trying to be mean, but that's funny.

Nail Yakupov: I'm not trying to be mean, but that's funny.

Can we say "Bust" on Yakapov???

I wouldn't mind seeing Chicago take a chance on him. Panarin, Anisimov and Yakapov might be a decent line, then you bump Kane up to play with Toews.

I'm pretty sure the Habs don't have any prospects anyone wants. Including the Habs.

I confirm

Humungous if true...

So...you're convinced we won't need a 3rd line center after. PC Finds us a top pair defender? We have a need for a player that can't be bought for magic beans and pocket lint, and replacement players to back fill.

Eller is overpaid for his role.

Yak is a good player. Edm just screwed him over. I think it is quite obvious that he will do good on a team willing to develop him like he should have been. He has obvious raw talent and I like his odds of becoming a top line winger. Unless he goes for picks I imagine it will be a package deal if Montreal gets him. I don't see much that fits the Oilers needs other than players that are far more valuable than Nail. I don't see it happening. Hopefully the Oilers can keep him and actually give him some quality ice time in an offensive role. That's where his talent lies.

That is a really good idea. Fits both teams. Columbus might be interesting. Trading for the second pick in that draft, Ryan Murry. I think Ryan has not been developed well either. Not straight across but he is in a similar boat.
