Sometimes miracles
The Oilers pass. This trade does not address any needs and are not looking for cap relief.
The Oilers can run three true scoring lines as is
Lucic-McDavid-Yakupov(McD and Yak had great chem at the start of last season)
Pouliot-RNH-Eberle(previous chemistry with these three)
Maroon-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi(soft minutes)

Yea, well something was up there because once Hall was traded we haven't heard a peep about Yakupovs trade request. The Oilers have actually posted on social media about Yaks off season training.

I don't think Yak is worth a 3rd alone currently.
He's a completely broken player.
Nice guy.. Nice Talent. Loves the game.
Has no idea what's happening on the ice.
If he ever figured it out he could be a player. Not liking the odds though. I don't think he even recognizes his problem

Sorry--gotta go with LTIR here--Yak was not in the "in" crowd of Hall and I think after four years that was painfully obvious

Henrique as the 1st line C, and the 2nd line C. Bold strategy.
He needs his ice time!!!
I agree . I been saying this for months . Maybe Hall changes now he been traded . He seem like a much more mature person then the one that did the exit interview . I think Yakupov will do much better now he is away from Hall . Now I could be wrong but I think Lucic is the type of team mate that would have Yakupov back if anyone was isolating him . Lucic just strikes me as a team first player ( Somewhat proven by not taking more money to go to Montreal ) A player that will have all of his team mates back . So I am one for keeping Yakupov
The Nuge
Some say…
This. There's 0 reason to trade him for picks, as shown by the fact he's still an Oiler.

He can play like 40 minutes a night can't he?

New team though. Hall isn't looked at as "in charge" in New Jersey most likely.

Give it a year and he will be a legit option for captaincy in NJ.
Some are programmed to be leaders.
Chiarelli would've already moved Yakupov if he really wanted to, plus it wouldn't be to NJ, as Hall and Yak don't gel well.
