He's been exceptional in handling his situation in Edmonton. 3 years, he's taken everything on the chin and hasn't been a distraction or done any sort of outburst or complained. That's more than any other player would have done in his shoes considering the circumstance of where he was drafted and how poorly he's been deployed and utilized. ...more than welcome to request a trade. Has all the right in the world to especially since he's done nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with what I said but just saying anyways. ...yea, and a large part has to do with the Oilers mismanagement of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid is getting top minutes. Yakupov getting a tryout with McDavid doesn't prove anything. Bottom 6 minutes for the most part is mismanagement.

Look, the reason why he dropped down to the bottom 6 is because he didn't perform on the top 6. How hard is that for you to understand? Just watch what Edm gets in return in terms of offers for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 29 minutes ago, higgyfan said: I don't even think it's that. Poor kid is facing yet another #1/2/3 pick for his team, which will keep him off the team's top 6 for the foreseeable future. Yak is definately not a 3/4 liner. No, THIS guy was a 1st overall just 4 years ago with plenty of time to reach better totals by being an elite presence and a large factor when he is one the ice....synonymous to "where/what city he plays" or "who else is on the team. " If I'm Chiarelli, he is dealt at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 he has already been in the nhl 4 years . it is longer than i realized he really has not developed he likely will stick in the league a while but cannot be looked on as an elite prospect anymore i think at best he can still become good but i would not give up much for him he does not feel or seem to be much different than baertschi actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well last year when he played with Derek Roy and finally put up some numbers he said something along the lines of "it's nice to finally play with a decent center." Hes sorta like edmonton's version of Kassian, but even more of an enigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Think Edm should trade with Toronto, Kadri for Yak Babcock with Yak could be a good match Edm picking up a 2C//3C freeing up a trade RNH for a defensive piece.. Hamonic+ ? (if NYI is willing to trade him for a centre) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
