Yak is my current favorite personality on the team and a player imo that is interesting to watch and see develop.
Sure hope this isn't what it is.
This org can take a flying leap if its going to give up on a young #1 pick instead of ****canning the coach.
Well, as with everything, it depends on the return I suppose. For the last 2 years or so I've been harping on the fact that management has fallen in love with their "core" and fails to recognize them as assets. I fully support a BPA draft strategy every time (in the 1st 2 rounds, anyway), but only in the sense that once you have those BPsA in your pocket, you are open to trading them as premium assets to fill the holes on your roster, as required. Just because we drafted Eberle, Hall, RNH, Yak, Nurse and Drai doesn't mean they have to represent our core. There's nothing to say that they and only they can deliver us to the promised land (and I think they've very effectively proven the opposite). So, if they are moving one of the "Big 4/5/whatever", then I support it, as long as the return makes sense. Regarding Yak specifically, it would be frustrating to see him leave but if he (likely in a package) brought back, say, RyJo then I'm on board.
