Yeah, well good luck with Yak
Press has reported that the isles rejected trade attempts by for Strome , in Nov. 2015 and after the 2016 playoffs.
Both the nyi player and front office , have indicated they are looking for him to play a key role next season and having seen Brock Nelson sign just before training camp last season, Isle fans should not be stressed if Strome's new bridge contract does not get done until the start of camp .
Here a little quote from a recent article .
"Obviously, it’s no secret that Yakupov plays better wth McDavid down the middle. Not only does Yakupov boast a 3.84 goals for per 60 with McDavid, but he also posts a 3.4 relative Corsi and a 59.73 Corsi for percentage. This makes him and McDavid a powerful combination, as well as one of the most lethal ones in the NHL."
His numbers are slightly lower with Draisaitl . Mind you very small sample size and terrible with anyone else . Here a little more from that article base on his play with Letestu . Letestu is his main partner .
"When you look at the next best centre for Yakupov, McLellan has paired him wth Mark Letestu, who has added insult to injury when it comes to Yakupov’s performance. With Letestu, the 22-year-old winger has a -3.63 relative Corsi and a 2.24 GF/60, along with a 50.66 Corsi percentage."
Again, not lobbying for this trade and admit Strome has the higher value, but you seriously don't think Yak is an upgrade in certain areas? Strome definitely has the hockey sense area by a considerable amount, but I honestly can't think of another area where Strome would grade higher when it comes to skill set.

I hate the isles, but in what world does yak get you strome? Yak was supposedly available for a 3rd at the draft.

who said this?
Matheson is just one writer , who this off season has written about how low Yak' trade value is .
In a July 2016 Journal article, he pointed out that it is a combination of Yak's poor development and the upcoming expansion draft.
I have no interest in debating whether or not Yak can turn things around next to McDavid.
I am just pointing out the nyi have rejected gms calling for Strome, with the media saying Snow has no interest in trading Strome. So it hardly matters what opposing fans or GMs think he is worth.
are their development curves not really similar? and would both not be expansion fodder? if he went to EDM he's not being protected over Drai/RNH/Lucic/Eberle
If the Islanders want to dump Strome I'd be happy to send a draft pick from the Flames. It won't hurt your cap or your team on the ice. Yakupov hurts in both those areas. He's not an NHL hockey player in any way, shape or form. Smart teams wouldn't take him on waivers.
I know others value Strome higher, but as an Isles fan even I know his value is low right now. I guess it depends on what your offering.

If you don't think Yakupov will ever improve then you might as well trade him for a 3rd or a 7th or waiver him....whatever.
IF you think he can improve and get back to leading his team in goals and leading his draft class in scoring then you probably hang on to him.
In 2 full nhl seasons,Strome has had 1 impressive season and 1 crap season.
Isles knowing the expansion draft is coming, have rejected opposing GMs calls to trade for Strome
Both in Nov. 2015 and after the 2016 playoffs. Isles look like they will protect Strome. Can Oilers fans make the same comment about Yak and the Oilers?
Unlike Yak, Strome has said hs lousy season is totally on him and he will work hard in the off season , has indicated he looks forward to being an isle next season.I make that last point because during the playoofs, Strome was a healthy scratch 2x and HF's armchair GMs insisted he would demand a trade or the isles would dump him ( cheaply of course)
So no, their front offices do not value them the same way. Oilers have reportedly shopped Yak an found very low trade value. Isles have reportedly had other teams calling and pushing for Strome, whose upside the isles stil highly value and who the isles don't want to move.
Their dev curves are not similar.... we're still waiting for Yak to have a season like Strome did in his rookie year. Yak has had a lot more time in the league and hasn't matched Stromes best out of his two seasons. His 2nd season, which we all agree was a disappointment, was still better than half the years Yakupov has had.
seems to be a ton of speculation and heresay, as well I don't think I've ever seen a player come off a lousy season and blame the organization
Strome has 1 good season, 1 lousy but was in the NHL 2 years after Yak despite being a draft year earlier. No credit there?
"oilers are reportedly waiting for a blow away offer on Yak while the isles seemingly have soured on Strome" we can say things however we want, right? just narratives
