I voted no, but I'd like to go against the grain here a little bit.
I'd like to see a pre-season line up of
Hall-Nuge-Eberle
Pouliot-Drai-Perron
Tkachev-Yak2-Yak1
Hendricks-Gordon-Purcell/Pitlick
Let the three of them see what they can do.
If they do that then you know they are purposely setting Nail up for failure.
Maybe for one game. But they need to decide what they are going to do with Yakupov. If they are planning on, say, developing him and using his skills he needs to be in a top 6 role. He needs to play with his future line mates, if they start the season with him in low use role with inexperienced line mates then I say they are purposely ruining him. If they start him out with players he hasn't played with in a top 6 role they are setting him up to fail.
He needs to be playing with the line he'll be on this year, and within 2 games, and then until the start of the season.
