Nail Yakupov will be drafted by [Insert NHL Team here]

[HanSolo]

I think anyone picking the Coyotes is seriously underrating them as a team. Sure they are not the most skilled, but they are a very well coached veteran team. If they don't make the playoffs, they will fall just short and end up picking in the 10 - 14 range.

I think it will ultimately end up being Columbus who gets the 1st pick followed by Winnipeg, Ottawa, Edmonton, Florida and Calgary.

I'd give almost anything for it to be the Jets though as I don't see them as a playoff team anyways.

I'm with you there. New franchise deserves a talent like that.

 

[SI90]

I don't like the Sens chances so I'll go with Ottawa.

 

[HanSolo]

Probably meant chances to do well in games.

 

[molsonmuscle360]

Prolly the Jets or Jackets.

 

[Ice Cream Man]

I hope the Flames Nail Yakupov at the draft...

I hope the Flames Nail Yakupov at the draft...

I really feel bad for the Flames. They're too good for lottery picks, not good enough for the playoffs.

I'd be willing to bet that Yakupov will not be drafted by the Flames.

 

[Oxim Oresi]

I hope it's not Columbus, Phoenix or Winnipeg, because I am so totally indifferent on how those teams are doing.

 

[masterandy]

Wouldn't mind being last...but I just think the young core will develop throughout the year and go on a run at the end of the season

 

[Dread Clawz]

Yakupov is getting on the C-Bus. I just hope he goes out West.

Did you know that Calgary have never drafted higher than sixth (although the Atlanta Flames drafted second during the franchise's first two years)?

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Boston obviously, He will look great with Seguin and Lucic.

You forgot to acknowlege his bad defensive game

1. We were talking about about his scoring

2. He is not even bad defensively considering the team he is on and how badly is relied on to carry the D

3. He is the leader of the teams D in minutes playing nearly 25 TOI a night and plays against the team other teams best players every night i.e. the Ovechkins etc.

4. He is 21

5. You need to stop hating

Columbus

Yes CBJ are a terrible team right now and most likely the worst team in the NHL, and I don't like Mason either.

But you have to consider that they are missing over 20 million dollars worth of players out of their line-up right now including Jeff Carter.

So I don't think they will be in the basement all year long. But this skid could hurt their chances @ the playoffs big time tough.

You forgot to acknowlege his bad defensive game

you forgot to acknowlege that he shut down rick nash and ovechkin. you also forgot to acknowlege that you havent watched any sens games, the only bad thing you can say about his defense is his size.

Unless Mason turns his game around, it looks to me like Yakupov will be heading to Columbus next season.

Nash-Carter-Yakupov

[jay carrigan]

Winnipeg

[Pick Six]

Dont start him.

Yeah, please. What he said. There is no sense arguing with him no matter how ridiculous he is being....even if there's that slight off chance he's right.

So **** like this ruins the Sens board and now I cant even go in the prospects board or trade board without seeing it?

Sorry for getting him started fellas, this whole thread got out of hand. I was just legitimately wondering why he is so confident that Ottawa isn't finishing last.

He just....doesn't consider the perspective of others very well.

Or that he is confused in his defensive zone most of the time and by the way great job making assumptions

This, not sure if it's Columbus though. Just stay out of the eastern conference..
