I hope the Flames make the playoffs with Iginla leading the charge, so he can leave on a high note and a proper farewell.

And again, this tripe. Okay, let's play it your way.
Yakupov has been reluctant to speak to the media, making them wait upwards of an hour. This screams to me he dreads answering questions about how excited he is about playing in edmonton because Obviously, he doesn't want to play there.
So it's plain to see that he see's an organization that has been run into the ground, and he has seen FA after FA turn down offers from the city, and has heard all the stories about Coaches telling their players to shape up or they will be shipped to The oilers.
Obviously, he would much rather play for a team that will be going places. So he is hoping they take the prudent steps to trade him for Trouba.
I hope the oilers continue to win the oiler cup for 3 or 4 more years, so that they can have so many first overall picks it makes Yak redundant, and he gets his wish to play for a real NHL team.
