Sign yak cheap. Reap benefits of guy who hated the team that drafted him and watch him become a star winger fueled by rivalry.

I'll be the first to say I'd like to see what Nail could do on a PTO or a "show me" deal for a year or even 2 at a low cap hit.

I wonder if Yakupov will be looked at by the Flames?

Yakupov probably makes sense as a balance between cost and upside.

I've always wanted Yak here.... I think he has a lot to prove and he can accomplish that.

Just imagine we sign him and Yak becomes a 30 goal scorer for us? That would be so, so beautiful.

Would love to see if we could somehow rekindle Yakupov's career.

No to Yak. He has been an unmitigated failure. Should we see what Daigle is up to as well? I am sure he'll sign for cheap.

I would try yak out 1 year deal around a million. Its a low risk high reward situation, if he sucks he sucks but if can can score 15 goals thats an automatic win.

I was thinking that all other things considered, it would have been a win-win scenario if Treliving could trade Brouwer for Methot straight in. Methot has a slightly larger cap hit ($4.9M until 2019) than Brouwer ($4.5M until 2020).
McPhee likes Brouwer (or, at least, used to like him) a lot. VGK's offense would be improved with Brouwer. McPhee needs to make trades fast.
We would get an expensive but bona-fide big&mean top-5 defenseman to play with a younger player (Kulak/Wotherspoon) and can let Stone go sign with Ottawa. Stone would be asking for $4M anyway, so not a big deal of saving over Methot. Yet, we would free up some reasonable chunk of salary to go after a 1st line RW (Radulov? Marleau?).
Obviously, Methot wants to go back to Ottawa (as it's the only team he's willing to waive his NTC for) , but wouldn't hurt to try and ask. Would be a killer defense if we can get him.
Just thought this would be a nice trade making sense for both teams. Thoughts?

Uh, no.
Vegas wouldn't trade Methot, one of the best picks they made, for Brouwer, someone they could have had for free and didn't want.

Everyone screaming "no" to Iggy...and then "oh yeah, let's give Yakupov a go"
...it's insanity.

I guess I'm insane then ... because I would definitely take a flyer on Yak for 1 mil before I brought Iggy back.
and I like Iggy

Iggy has all sorts of Calgary-related baggage attached to him and probably doesn't want to be back here anyway. He'll go to a team that gives him one last shot to play for the cup.

I have fully given up on Iginla returning when Brian Burke told me to my face at a luncheon that Iginla did not want to return and that ship has sailed
