I think if MacT was serious about making a change, Yak is the most obvious guy to move. Hall/Eberle/Nuge all got paid as cornerstones and Yak isn't there yet. I hope they move him for an overrated, overpaid D-man (Phaneuf? Wideman? (that was for Moon, I like Wideman and want him to stay)).

Just to be clear, "Yak" had 6 goals in his last 3 games last year, well after all the pressure was off and the Coilers were circling the bowl.
So, for your points percentage, it is probably better to show his 12 points in 20 games (0.60 / game) when the team was hot and the start of the year and expectations were low, then 13 in 25 games when the pressure was on (0.52 / game), followed by 6 in 3 after things were pretty much done (2.00 / game).
At the end of the day, he's shown a flair for scoring goals when it doesn't really matter, has shown to be clueless in his own end of the rink (if he even knows where that is), has stated he doesn't really like to skate or work hard to get the puck, and is a 'me first hotdog' type of player. You don't win with those types of knobs on your team and I hope the coilers keep him for a long time and trade Hall or Eberle for some short term (and useless I hope) help.
