In as much as we do need options on right wing, Yakupov is a classic leech. He doesn't make the players around him better, and that means you have to tailor your line-up to suit him. And honestly, paying $2.5 million on top of a good pick for a guy who puts up the same offence as Joe Colborne is not a wise allocation of our assets, imnsho.

Yeah I think if a team gives up anything of value for him they have to commit fully to playing him with their top center as the guy doesn't have a lot of value playing in the bottom 6 for any team. I don't think that's how the Flames/Hartley operate.
