So what do you guys think of Yakupov?  Would he blossom somewhere else?

I don't know. I don't see it happening. I think the guy has a lot of Daigle in him. Won't shock me if he's back in Russia in the next few years.

I was thinking Radulov, I'd like to see him on a good team first eight enough.

When he was drafted he was touted as being more "North American" than most Russians, IIRC.  (just observing, not endorsing that)

Absolutely correct sir, I think that was tied to his decision to play JNR here. My comparison was more along the lines of talented but enigmatic with questionable attitude.

Santo!

Man Ryan Nugent-Hopkins gets overrated a lot.  Somehow he's an A+ talent according to that random Sportsnet graphic. 

What part of 4th year in the NHL with zero 20 goal seasons and a career high of 56 points is an A+ talent.  He's a good player but he's not someone I would break the bank to acquire or a guy I would build a team around.

He had 52 points in 62 games as an 18 year old. Obviously he's struggled to build on that but that's where I'd point the finger at the Oilers.

If you want it you're going to have to work for it...
 
wow. the oilers are garbage. dudes the game is over, protect your goalie
 
How can Edmonton be so pathetic. The Leafs are garbage yet they look like the Globetrotters against the Oilers.
 
Fasth has been crappy but he would be justified in methodically punching each and every one of his teammates in the face.
 
If Hanifin is what he's claimed to be, could he be a big part of the answer for Edmonton?

Is he ready to play close to 30 minutes a night for the Oil?
 
The Leafs have had three breakaways this period.  How is it even possible to play at the NHL level and be this bad?  Even when the Leafs were getting hemmed in their own zone all game I don't remember them being this awful.

Flipping tractor tires and vaulting flaming walls makes you a better human?
Why is fitness all of a sudden no longer being fit and now being overly extreme?

Because otherwise you are a #$#@#$!!! human.

:-( what's with all the bad language here?

My apologies. 

I shall go flip some tractor tires.

 
Are linesmen allowed to use common sense?  If the player is working along the boards in a straight line, maybe you don't continue to slowly skate along the boards to slow up the play.

I'll take "Rush a bunch of 18 year olds to the NHL and hope for the best?" For $3000 please LK.
