Oh, and this.


I've never been a bigger fan of the Oilers, they provide daily entertainment.

That last tweet is nearly a trade request. Edmonton is in a free fall right now and if Yakupov forces a trade they will get pennies on the $

Umm, Igor...

He doesn't have a no trade clause - it doesn't really matter what your client thinks about being traded.

First Schneider's agent last year... and now Yaks agent. It's a good thing these kids don't have to actually work hard, and earn things for a living, cause that would suck.

No, but he does have a get out of jail Edmonton card anytime he wants to go back to the motherland. Which makes that more of a threat than anything else, in my opinion.

The Edmonton sideshow grows more and more entertaining every day, and somehow, against all odds, KLowe has survived every minute of it. The man is like a cockroach.

Wow. If you were a gm, what would you give up for yak? A whiny self entitled cocky player that is a huge flight risk.

Maybe a 4th rounder?

Haha, this keeps getting better...

Purely hypothetical, but just for fun. A) would you take him and B) what would you give for him?

The only catch is that he has to play for the Flames (can't be sent to Abbotsford).

Yak needs a change of scenery and perhaps time to develop properly in the AHL. I can see Griffin Reinhart for Yakupov.

The kid has tons of talent but just hasn't been taught to play a complete game. They should have put him in the AHL for at least a season to learn how to play at the next level before jumping him up to the NHL. Does he have lots of value? don't know, maybe in a decent organization like Detroit. Not sure that we could fix his game and not interested in giving up the assets to try.

Edit: The fact that Edm has literally no defensive system isn't helping.

Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones 42m Yakupov agent Larianov to me last week: “Many players who are 20 go through periods of not getting points, not playing their best hockey.//


Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones 39m
2/ "Nail needs to go out and play his normal game and at the same time work on improving all areas of his game.


Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones 36m
3/ “Many players who are 20 go through periods of not getting points and not playing their best hockey.

4/ “Nail needs to go out and play his normal game and at the same time work on improving all areas of his game.


Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones 28m
5/ “It would be a shame after 16 games he wasn't getting that kind of support. He has to enjoy the game, not be worried about everything.


Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones 24m
6/“The kid needs a break, needs to be able to do his thing. He needs to play 18 minutes and get his power play time. The defence will come.

7/“It's a very delicate balance. You have to be very careful.”

I have a feeling there will be a trade based around Yakupov and Gusbransen. I hear that Florida fans are not happy with his development but he is a young former top 3 pick.

Rumors are Tallon is looking to deal as well

Putting the "Oilers are gross" part of it aside, would anyone here trade Baertschi for Yakupov if they could?

I might.
