We all hate oilers and rightfully so.
However, their young players Eberle, RNH and Yakupov have star power written all over them and Hall is even better.
At this point we cannot say that Monahan is as good as Yakupov but in a few months we will get an idea.
I hope that Monahan turns out to be #1 center and becomes better than Hall, there is no way of knowing at this point but it could happen.
Yakupov just like Monahan is too young to predict the ceiling.
If the kid was a Flame we would be happy and criticism would be coming from Oiler land.
Right now Oil top end is way better than ours, I think we have more depth in lower positions.
This upcoming season I’m predicting that we will be better than what the experts are saying and that in 2015/16 we will bottom out.
