If this is true, then the Oilers should really look at a scorched earth approach with this team.There is no way they're going to teach a sense of professionalism with this core if this is how they are reacting to teammates at 20 and 21 years old.

Sure Yakupov is a distraction, but that sort of childish action isn't going to help the team mature or even gel together. That's the sort of stuff you hear about in minor league hockey, not at the pros.
