We could always go back to Smyth as the 4th line C, and bump Acton out
If our fourth line continues to play like they did on Tuesday I don't want to bump any of them out

Can we please stop demoting Yakupov in our proposed line ups?
First over all pick, impressive first year and now he is on the third line with Gordon?
Move Hemsky to the LW and put Yakupov back on the right- we should be both trying to win and moving forward. Hemsky ahead of Yakupov is ridiculous.

Neither do I. In the ideal world, Smyth is sitting in the PB. I'm just not sure it'll happen

I don't see why it's ridiculous. Hemsky is our best forward alot of nights and is clearly ahead of Yakupov at this point in his career. I'm fine playing Hemsky on the first line.
Well Yak practiced with Perron and Arco today, so that's something.
Interesting...
Who was Eberle practicing with?
Hemsky is not clearly ahead of Yakupov in this point of his career.
Hemsky: 0.53 points per game- 2012/13
Yakupov: 0.65 points per game- 2012/13 in his rookieyear.
Yakupov likely has a top 5 elite shot in the league.
Edmonton is interfering with his progress by playing Hemsky ahead of him. Keep in mind that this is the same player that MacT stood in front of a microphone last summer and announced that he should be moving on.
If you need a vet to protect Hall, play Hemsky, but don't do it in Yakupov's place.
Eakins didn't give Yakupov a lick of top 6 minutes during the pre season and he is continuing to do it in the regular season (game one). Urgh.
The NHL isn't a development league. IF he needs to develop, perhaps he should go down to the AHL?
Joensuu and Gordon.
And how do you make sure the guy is freaking a 100% healthy?
All three of them pouted.Didn't Eberle pout last season when Kreuger separated him from Hall and RNH?
Imo... As long as arco play alright keep him there as a Gagner replacement... Roll..All three of them pouted.
