Yakupov, for sure.
He can drive the net, and he's got a release. He wont be an elite NHLer, but he's got the tools to be a trigger man for Gaudreau, in the same mold as Cheechoo, Burrows, et al.
It'd probably take some time to beat the bad habits out of him. But not as long as it would take to develop a 2nd round pick into the middling AHLer which that pick would most likely yield.
