Last time the WJC was in Ottawa, EK was the star and Ottawa got a taste of their new 1st round pick. Yakumchuk going to live the exact same thing but in the maple leaf, going to be amazing

This reminds my old ass of when spezz took a while to crack the league.

Too good for junior, but you gotta do it right.

I wonder what a Jason Spezza that went the NCAA route in today's game would be.

The Calgary Hitmen are suppose to be better this yr, but if not, they have the option to trade Yakemchuk to a contender & get a decent return for him. It would be nice to see him on a good team in a playoff situation where he can use his skillset more. As we saw in the preseason he will get pts, but needs others to elevate their game so that he isn't the only target for opposing teams to stop.

It didn't really take him too long.

Split an NHL/AHL season, then a full NHL season.

The lockout had him back in the AHL for a full season.

Spezza managed to get more then one coach fired for trying to change his game. He never learned or wanted to learn anything above what he knew as best.

edit
Once he landed in Toronto he finally figured it out. way too late
