So you wouldn't trade one of your two viable goaltenders for a #1 overall pick that led all rookies in goals last year? That's something you make happen. You could argue that the real need is a center, and there's some truth to that, but Yakupov could be a top 10 player in this league. It's hypothetical of course, I don't think EDM would do that at all.
Also, Crosby quietly leading the league in points, that asshole.

Who cares about Crosby, there is a 19 yearold russian that they can blame for the Oilers failures.

You just said it yourself. If there is a player on the Oilers the Leafs would want and be a good Randy Carlyle player it's RNH. Not Nail. Yakupov would most likely find himself being scratched. Randy already has enough problems with Kadri, Gardiner, etc. The dressing room we have now is in good order and look what happened to Grabo. Cannot say enough good things about him, but if you don't think Randy will give that kid a hard time then you have another thing coming. There is no trade happening on that front and I expect to see Reim and Bernier continue battling for ice time. The Leafs don't really need anymore guys that can put the puck in the net. We have more than enough guys who can do that already and a lot of them are in their primes or soon will be.

Eakins won't be afraid to bench anyone of them. When Dallas scratched him first I think it sends a pretty big message to the rest of your roster.

Maybe he should scratch the defense and possibly get a new assistant coach.

I think benching one of your star players says a lot though. It's a strong message to the rest of the team that he's not afraid to bench anyone of them. Which assistant coach you think is out of touch?

Ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhh lol. Yeah, they can go nuts with it all they want. :V

even with the cap situation, if you could get yak for reimer, already having another goalie of similar skill, you pull that damn trigger.

that being said, im sure that was nothing more than the canadian media hype machine in full swing.

Under all the reasons I just gave you? *furrows brows* It makes absolutely no sense at all for the Leafs.
EDIT: I'd say that even if we had cap space.

reimer is redundant with bernier there, and yak's a better, more tradable asset than either of them

Agree with Quantic. Although I said that Yakupov might not be exactly what the Leafs "need," he is an amazing talent. You don't pass up a player like that because of a platoon goalie. I think Reimer is actually pretty good, but saying no to Yakupov? That's foolish.
Yakupov is a potential generational talent, Reimer is a goalie who TOR clearly doesn't think much of (to their folly). Why is this even a question? Enigmatic Russian/Crazy Toronto media argument is so asinine. If the kid can play, the kid can play.

This is such a pointless discussion, regardless of what Dregger said the maple leafs would do (even if it's completely ridiculous), the Oilers would never trade Yakupov for James fricken Reimer.

Well the current assistant coaches have been around since 2010 and 2008 respectively, for some reason the revolving door of coaches in Edmonton have all kept them on as assistants.

He doesn't fit the team or style I don't even see how we're arguing this lol and you guys seem to think the jury is already out on Reimer and I say that isn't the case. Sure Bernier's shown poise, good positional play and good rebound control. What do you think Reimer did when he took over the number one job in Toronto? They're going to let these goalies battle it out before they even think about trading any one of them. If the Leafs are trying to find a home for anyone it's a D man. I think they're more than happy with the centers they have at the moment even if they aren't great at the faceoff circle. They're going to give Kadri a bit more time to workout the kinks other than that Bozak isn't going anywhere, Bolland is staying, McClement is staying too (he is one of our best Penalty Killers after all). I have a hard time seeing any deal getting done at this current time.

Crosby leading in points when healthy is pretty par for the course. The real Battle is Crosby vs his body to see if he can play near a full season.

bernier hasnt played many games the last seasons. he was lights out everywhere he played from juniors to ahl but can he be dominant for 60 nhl games? I think so but we cannot say for sure. On top of that, trade reimer and youre 1 injury away of missing the playoffs. It happened to carolina last year. Cam ward went down and their season went south.
In fact, those 2 guys combined combine for just under 5 millions on the cap. thats probably less than the average salary of #1 goalies around the league. they should keep both until their contracts expire.
and honestly that kid yakupov might be a ''bust'' for the oilers. he can turn out to be like alexandre daigle and or alexander radulov. Furthermore this is a bad deal because toronto has the 2 best players in it atm.Yakupov has some upside but he needs to get his shit straight and play like the coach tells him to play.
