Yakupov just makes too much sense right now. He would immediately be given a chance in the top 6, and I would be very intrigued to see how much of a spark he would get playing with Johnny.
It means that line might get a little softer, but the talent and speed would be incredible to watch. Calgary already has the 3M line for the tough spots, and Bennett and Ferland both have quite an edge as well.
I would be very welcome to the idea of the Flames taking a waiver on the Nail.
