As a pedant, I must say: Hall was LW, no? And Yak is RW?
I wonder if Calgary would benefit from picking up Yakupov given some holes they have on wing. He has a shot and some speed. he doesn't seem lazy - just ill-tutored. And maybe not too bright. Can a poor hockey IQ benefit from being with a high IQ like Gaudreau or does he drag the high IQ down.
