I believe it is all in his head now, if he can be brought in and given a vote of confidence and put on the top line he has the chance to be that RW we need, God knows the skill is there. Add in the fact he could shove it back in the Oilers face and I would love to see Tre take a chance on him. At worst he goes to Stockton and might find his game there but I still think it is a confidence issue.

Yakupov in junior reminded me of Pavel Brendl - in that he scored junior level goals. His shot is not that great and his offensive instincts are poor.
