How entitled can this kid be? It seems Eakins had been trying to give him opportunities to prove himself, as there was a six game stretch where Yakupov was averaging close to 18 minutes a game. During that stretch he scored 1goal, had 1 assist, and was -10!!. Seems to me Yakupov had his opportunity to show he was willing to do the right things, when given the ice team that he apparently needs to succeed, and proved that he still has a lot of work to do.
