500 posts on something that will never happen..many in-depth. A mind-boggling waste of time and thought..but hey....Habs' fans.
What part of "he's no fit whatsoever" are people missing?
Do we need another undersized winger? Do we need a petulant head case? Someone who plays individually and is unwilling to work hard? Is no one else noticing that the Habs are staying away from Russian players in recent years? there are good reasons for that. Yet the biggest head case of them all - Let's get him!!! He was a first pick overall so he must be fabulous!!
Unless he changes his game significantly he will never be a 40-goal scorer in the NHL, and certainly never be a 30-assist man. At best - a sometimes 30-goal scorer who is wildly inconsistent and a liability in his own end who teammates dislike.
Where is talented top 6 Russian pick Filatov playing? An undersized head case Russian winger who was unwilling to compete to succeed...sound familiar? Yakupov - with his attitude and performance - is a strong candidate to be playing in the KHL in a couple of years...so let's mortgage the farm (on defence no less) to pick him up.
Silly stuff.
