Was a pointless pick at the time, needed to trade down and pick a dman. Then. Kept not getting "enough" now got basically nothing for a former 1st overall. Yikes. Well they'll get a 2nd if Yak scores 15g IIRC. Still I hope to see him have a good season with the blues and turning into a second line bargain. Edm being Edm in this deal. | ||

I still think Yak turns into a 20g guy on a team like that. He won't draw the top unit, and he will probably get placed with skilled but more defensively responsible linemates on the 2nd or 3rd and get some 2nd unit PP time. | ||

That said, all he has ever done is light up third-line opposition at home, where his team gets last change and fail to score on the road where they don't. He shoots something like >20% at home and like <5% on the road. This is the definition of a specialized/complimentary player. That's why people needed to look at more than the goals before declaring "PAY THE MANNNN". He's like a smaller Jordan Eberle, except that he doesn't draw the tough assignments and gets the most massive o-zone push out of top scores not named Kane/Panarin. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/A7uqxFB.png) | ||

Such a likable player who was rarely put into a position to succeed and was kinda 'meh' the few times he was. Honestly, had they traded him a year ago I would have been upset, but now I'm just indifferent. I kind of stopped expecting his game to get any better. I mean, shit, they put him with CFMD and he was still basically just replacement-level for a career 3rd-liner who could cash on some second assists. Eventually, you stop looking at dreams and fairy-dust because you have enough of a track record to paint an actual picture. And Yakupov is what he is. Now, that doesn't mean a team can't find a way to fit him into a role (maybe a soft-minutes line and some power play time), but that was never going to happen in Edmonton. Hence the 'meh' reaction to the trade. Hope he scores 20 in St.Louis. | ||

Not to mention he is top 5 in league for most exciting player he is well worth the dough. He will make the flames better and make them $$$$. Not to mention what does Eberle make? Everyone would rather have Johnny then ebs for 750k more. I don't disagree with much of that. I don't mean to shit on Johnny Hockey - just providing some context for what he is: a reliable, exciting outscorer of shitty opposition. | ||

It's going to be an exciting season filled with lots of exciting offense and shitty rookie defensive breakdowns. Tank City, Tank Tank City! | ||
