I’m not sure why people are so quick to lay judgement.
Look at Nichushkin’s career. Look at Bennett’s.
To just go to “oh well, Yakupov busted”
Sometimes players and organizations just don’t work out together. Players and coaches don’t click, young men have troubles adapting. I still think Yakupov had it in him to be a good NHL’er but the Oilers sewered him.
I’d be really excited to get a player like Laf. Perfect age range to help this team for years to come and balance our old roster with some high end young blood.
Huberdeau - Kadri - Laf? That could be something tasty.
If you aren’t willing to take a risk, you’ll never win anything.
