News From Around the League, Part XLIV

[tycobb]

That is a horrible idea.

For EDM

 

[Devils Trap]

No for us

Not giving up Greene for Yak

 

[Holtz My Bahls]

For EDM

Explain how trading Greene away for a primadonna forward who pisses and moans about being benched makes us a better team...


DeBoer + Yakupov what a great combination.

 

[tycobb]

The "primadonna" has the potential to score 35+ goals.

Hopefully Pete treats Yak like he did Larsson in his 1st year.

 

[Kensu]

Yakupov probably has more value around the league than Greene, I'd just take it to trade Yakupov again for something else.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

key is potential

while you have our #1 dman in Greene. So you're trading our best defenseman for potential that may occur someday.

This team immediately is worse after this trade with the possibility of being better someday assuming everything works out.

Hopefully we never get him because he is a trainwreck

That's fantastic he has "potential" ,when he does something significant in this league maybe I will "potentially" believe he isn't a terrible player.

 

[Bleedred]

Aside from the fact that Pete will probably treat him like most of the other youngsters, I wouldn't really mind Yakupov depending on the cost.

 

[apice3*]

If DeBoer treats Larsson the way he did Yak his first year, which is playing him much of the season and benching for the entire playoffs before he sparks the team with a goal only to be benched AGAIN, Yakupov would not play a game for us ever again.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Round and round we go.

 

[SeidoN]

EDM needs to trade Yak ASAP so we can move on lol

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Edmonton fans are about to go BAH-ZERK.

 

[glenwo2]

I want Eberle.

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

Hopefully we never get him because he is a trainwreck

Get a clue mister mustard.

Your Russian bashing is nothing short of a joke and all of those emotions are linked because your girlfriend decided to dump your ass for someone better.... Get over it already, jeez.

Would you still take your long lost love if he was available (Semin) or did Kovy crush your heart so hard that you've become anti Russian?

The kid is 20, relax and step away from the ledge, it'll be alright.

Has nothing to do with being Russian. But if you think it does, more power to you. Whatever makes your heart warmer at night. I have absolutely nothing against Russian hockey players but like I said whatever makes you feel better inside, do it.

I would take Semin though because he scores and can actually play defense, so that is kind of the exact opposite of Yakupov

Also dont see how im close to a ledge in your scenario... Im perfectly content without Yakupov so im really failing to see your analogy here.

I dare you to name one single player at the age of 20 who had a solid 2 way game after playing just 65 games at the NHL level.

Let me ask you this, would you rather have RNH over Yakupov?

Edit: Semin plays defence? This is probably the most absurd statement I've seen in a long time on HF

Of course I would. Hopkins is a center which automatically makes him more valuable . Not to mention he is actually willing to back check and you know, not ***** and moan if the coach does something he doesnt like.

Yak is a diva, a complete one way player and honestly, has become more of a distraction then a help to the Oilers

You dont think Semin plays defense ??? The guy's defense is so under rated that its comical. He plays the PK every now and then for Carolina and looks more then fine doing it. He isnt lost in the D zone and again is atleast willing to back check, unlike Yakupov

Landeskog

Devils Trap is taking the Yakupov thing way too far. I wouldn't give up the assets Edmonton would want, but to say he wouldn't take him here at all is pretty stupid.

I have no problem taking him here if we get him cheap, but its pretty well known he wont be cheap

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 35s

Full trade: Kris Versteeg and Phillippe Lefebrve to Chicago for Jimmy Hayes and Dylan Olsen.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

AND Florida apparently paying half of Versteeg's salary

hmm. ok.

 

[SeidoN]

just saw this on Wiki

 

[Bleedred]

I imagine those guys going to Florida are probably not NHL roster players. Haven't heard of them before.
