Yakupov is a legit goal scorer. Nothing this seasons changes that for me. The problem is that Eakins is trying to make him something be isn't. Much like Semin, the kids is pure offense (and pretty good at that)...trying to change his game is a waste of time.
Yakupov probably shouldn't have said what he did...but he's a kid reacting to a lousy situation.
I hope the oilers trade him and he lights the league up.
Keep heading in the right direction, Edmonton.
