Not that I think the Flames should do it, but I have a feeling someone might try giving Yakupov an offer sheet with a poison pill similar to the ROR offer sheet. As bad as the Oilers are they are almost a cap team and strategic offer sheets may be able to work. There may just be enough bad blood between the Oilers and Yakupov that I could see a playoff team taking a shot at a first overall talent albeit tainted.
