You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Retaining poor assets is also what bad teams do.
If anything this is probably selling high on him.

The problem is is that Yak has been declining for 3 years straight. Realistically in 1 or 2 years hell be in the KHL. Whats also not smart is holding to a tanking asset in hopes to recover cost. Sinking cost fallacy. Get best deal now
this post is idiotic
Yak has only proven to be a awesome way to get minuses and pucks in your own net. look at the great golf score he has.
selling low...mhmm
this dude knows Yak will soon be waived right?
the only reason CHI is trading for him rather than waiting for the waiver wire is for us to retain. which gives us opportunity to ask for an asset we want. or we simply wait and waive yak to the garbage pile of waivers

Also until the other asset is known its pretty ridiculous to come up with these tweets

Sometimes miracles
Agreed, that's why Chicago is still enjoying the fruits of the return from Dustin Byfuglien and Brandon Saad.

Yup. Plus he's not the best option on the 3rd line. We have bigger, heavier wingers that play the role we need. Yak's not getting a shot on a top line, move him. He's useless as a 3rd line winger. We have 4 guys at wing ahead of him.

This all day long. How long before this becomes a distraction as to whether or not he bolts to the KHL?
Boom goes the dynamite. Chicago has made their fair share of unfortunate moves, as has nearly every club in the league.
Move along

Yeah, we should totally keep him and put him in the PB/3rd line (because that's worked so well before) and decrease his value further.

it IS addition by subtraction really. at this point he is being outplayed by newbs
Since when has Yak been considered an asset here in Edmonton? Unfortunate, but true. That's all changed as soon as he leaves though...

And the Blues are a much better team than the Oilers and turned MPS into a goal scoring machine. 20 goals in the past 5 seasons.

New identity, Yak is a small winger who isn't defensively responsible. He doesn't play PK minutes, and just doesn't fit what we are trying to do.
He's not getting top line minutes, and he's useless as a 3rd liner. Best for both sides to move on.

Yak for TVR would actually be a pretty good deal, doubt Hawks move him though. I haven't seen much of Pokka the last few years so not sure what to think of him. Great numbers in the AHL but is he good enough for NHL? If the choice came down to him and TVR I'd probably take TVR as he's an NHLer for sure and ready to play. Doubt we're getting either guy though.
LOL. if the coach cant trust him he will kick him to siberia himself.
you obviously dont know JQ.
]He doesnt teach anybody. you better know how to play. he anit gonna coddle morons.

Oh gee so I guess they don't count. How convenient. Never mind that they actually beat the Hawks this year in the playoffs.
Man those Penguins sure turned Schultz into the Norris caliber defenseman he was touted to be. How he didn't win the Conn Smythe is something I'll never understand.

The Hawks have been making a couple poor roster decisions the past 3 years. Still one of bets managed tho. TT, Saad, Sharp, Oduya, Daley/Scuderi trades- all little losses here and there due to cap
Now worries man
i find these threads are a great way to evaluate the value of a persons hockey opinion.
do they know the reality of players and teams
do they know one of the best coaches in the NHL and his strict personality and how any player he gets better know how to play before he so much as breathes in the same air?

Yak being dealt will be best thing for all parties. I wish the best for him. But whatever team gets him will try him in top 6, itll fail after 20 games. Then try a scoring 3rd line, that wont work out. Then try him on reg 3rd line and itll fail. Hell get traded by end of the season for a pick. Wont make team next year and be at home in KHL by bed time
