I'm not like Yakupov's #1 fan. I don't care if he does well or not. It just amazes me that good teams can scratch there 2014 1st round pick for a former #1 overall pick because they have a deep lineup.

That's what we should be going for

Tied for 2nd on the team in points. For sure needs to be on the bench.

Gerbe focuses far more on his feelings than any analysis.

You're telling me you're happy with his play ? when Jack got injured I was kind of excited mostly I was thinking wow Sam's going to take the team on his back and we're going to see the player that we drafted ...

Personally think you're right about him and most likely he'd be playing a lot of minutes here now if we had went for him. Figured I'd razz you about it a little though if possible.

Is he playing to the best of his ability most nights...I don't think so personally...but it isn't like he's out there coasting and taking shifts off. I thought last night he had flashes of excellence, especially on the PP, which I had yet to see from him this year. I think his confidence is growing slowly. Benching your 2nd leading, 21 year old scorer may be counterproductive I guess is my point.

How do you say in 8 words something that takes me a paragraph?

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Wake up from what? hes not lazy or making bad plays or anything. He's just not as good as 15. Thats no reason to bench a guy. Remove the 2nd overall tag from him, hes not ur average 2nd overall pick, neither is Ryan Murray. It doesnt mean they are playing poorly.

It is when he's a year older than everyone else he was the most NHL ready prospect in the draft with Ekblad .. And now you're seeing everyone in his draft class produce more than him and even younger when he should be ahead of the curve where ekblad is

If he was never that good then why the hell did we tank for him ?

You should've traded the picK

Right now Sam is a late first-round pick he's not playing like a player I was promised
when we were going to suffer

Your not making sense . We didn't tank on purpose . Team sucked and ended up in the best position to get a player better than we had.
Your starting to sound like you need a participation trophy.
