The Yakupov situation is turning into a gong show. Unbelievable how poorly run that team is.
scratched again?

If EDM unhappy with him, Larionov said Yak open to trade: "We're willing to makea move. Any team. That happens and that's part of life."
Agent talk
Good as gone now, once you go public, that's that.
well then...that escalated very quickly lol.
nashville and oilers will make a trade lol.
Oh Gardiner asked for a trade?
Larionov is also going to Edmonton to talk with Oilers brass about his future apparently
Hamilton pushed Stamkos though. I think its more of a case of picking bad habits than freak accident. The same result could have been if he pushed him near the boards and that would be suspendable. I'm utterly surprised we escaped game with Boston without one major injury, but few close calls [and who knows really?]. We should play them the same way and put Orr out there more to run Chara and others to teach them some more respect.
Really sucks about Stammer.. Huge blow to Team Canada if he's out - Stamkos is the best Canadian goal scorer at the moment
Has Yakupov asked for a trade?
Saying that you'd be fine with a trade if your team doesn't want you isn't asking for a trade.
Brodeur said the same thing last week.

Brodeur said that so he would be able to help NJ in the future by getting assets back and playing time to finish his career on a winning note.
Yakupov said it to get his chance to be a full time NHLer, whether he has earned it or not. This is for his own good more than anything.
This is what happens when you gift an NHL spot directly to your prospects and don't go through the whole process.

His agent said they are open to a trade? You can split hairs, but a public statement like that means the relationship is over and he wants to move on. Common sense to me, fail to see the distinction.

Do people honestly forget that he led all rookies in scoring last year? It's not like he didn't do anything last season. Hell, he was 4th on his team in points and LED THEM IN GOALS. I'm not sure what you call gifted, but it seems to me he fit in the NHL.
No it doesn't. Hell Kessel at one time alluded to maybe making a change back in the turmoil of the Wilson days. Seems that the relationship with the Leafs was mended.
His agent is saying that Yakupov is willing to do what the team wants if they are frustrated with his development. He understands that it is part of the way the game is played. What isn't said, but is alluded to, is that he's willing to be there if management wants him too.
He hasn't publicly said "trade me". Very big distinction actually.
