I was looking into him back in November when I was checking out Lindstrom.
He's a great skater - he excels at bringing the puck into the zone. His defensive side is fine, though not his specialty. No real physicality. His hands and general skill are fine, but probably not top-6 level. The promising thing with Basha is that he thinks the game well. He's patient when he needs to be, but he can also make quick decisions. Great vision as well.
As for Yakemchuk, I haven't seen much of him. Has anyone been watching a lit of Hitmen games lately? Even Ben Kindel on the the Hitmen looks like he might be someone to keep an eye on for next year's draft.
