Proposal: (EDM) Nail Yakupov for (TOR) Connor Brown

[thewave]

It's quite amazing and funny that many are sitting here and saying that they would not do Yak for C. Brown. I am one of those people as well and it just feels strange saying it. I don't even know what I would want to trade for Yak at this point either. I think that maybe some kind of pick compensation with a B prospect. Leivo, Lindberg, Hyman. In a lot of ways I even liked what Sosh brought to the table more than what I see out of Yak most times.

He really is a hard player to fall in love with, although, I think he has value to someone.

Leafs make this trade all day long, HF Leafs fans will not trade Brown and consider him close to Nylander's level

No they wouldnt.

no they don't. Brown was terrific last year, no need to give him up for Yakupov

Proposal. Nail Yakupov for Connor Brown.
Would either team do it, is the value fair?

Good Lord, major no from the Leafs.

 

[Menzinger]

I'd pass on this deal.

Would still be interested in Yak for a 3rd. I think he's still got a decent shot at being an MHLer

Leafs fan.

There's no justification for this from Edmonton's perspective. They've had enough prospects, need to compete in the very near future, and even if they did trade Yakupov right now Brown doesn't do anything for them. He doesn't fill a need.

From Toronto's end, I wouldn't move Brown for Yakupov either, regardless of whether or not Yakupov has more trade value.

I don't see the point from either end, especially Edmonton's.

Who the hell is Connor Brown?

A former 6th round pick by the Leafs whose climbed the ladder since being drafted. Considered by many Leaf fans to be a legit prospect, myself included.

Having said that, due to his draft status as not being a 1st round pick, he wouldn't be of any interest to the Oilers.

My mistake I didn't realize he was a junior A player as a 17 year old, he had 1 monster season in the OHL playing with McDavid other then that he was pretty mediocre.

You mean the same locker room?
They didn't play on the same line, except during the PP.

Seemed pretty good without McDavid on his call up.

Don't forget leading the AHL rookie scoring in his first year in the AHL

i will keep the un-dented soup can.

Yak needs a change, but we shouldn't be the team nor giving up some untapped potential.

 

[Seachd]

I don't see why Edmonton would be interested in something like this.

 

[Rob Brown]

I don't see why Edmonton would be interested in something like this.

Or Toronto.
