Yakupov and Hall dont mesh well...

Off ice? You have no idea if that's true or not..

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

no thanks. not for a 2nd AND a 3rd.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

They won't have to play together.

Hall - Henrique - Bennett/DSP
Cammalleri - Zajac - Palmieri
Boucher - Zacha - Yakupov

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

If the Oilers wanted to giveaway Yakupov, they would have done so already.

 

[garyturner3]

Value wise, I think it's good.

[Homesick]

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.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Zero need for us to do this now. But thanks.

 

[Jets012]

Absolutely zero chance Yak's value is that high around league circles. No chance any team has ever offered the Oilers a package like that.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Yakupov + Larsson for Hall

 

[Lacaar]

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

Where did you get a second Henrique

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

Hall - Henrique - Bennett/DSP
Cammalleri - Henrique - Palmieri
Boucher - Zacha - Yakupov

Henrique as the 1st line C, and the 2nd line C. Bold strategy.

Hahaha oops. that second Henrique is supposed to be zajac.

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]

This. There's 0 reason to trade him for picks, as shown by the fact he's still an Oiler.

Henrique as the 1st line C, and the 2nd line C. Bold strategy.

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

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

No thanks. I'd rather keep the picks.

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.

 

[DanteDevilsHockey]

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.
