The fact that the Oilers want a ton for Yakupov shouldn't surprise anyone. Nail is still young and still growing. The Oilers also NEED a ton right now.
Who is interested in talking?
The Flyers are 1-6 despite getting stellar goaltening and Claude Giroux is off to a very slow start and still scoreless. There is an obvious hole in the Flyers offense and the need for skill upfront is glaring. The defense also lacks young aggressive defenders and the rumors of the Flyers talks with Winnipeg surrounding Byfuglien make a ton of sense. The Jets would need back a few pieces, but don't be surprised if we see it.
The Capitals have had some luck with Grabovski and Yakupov is a big OV fan as well. Don't think for a second that his benching in Washington, on the night he could have first faced-off against AO, wasn't a message being sent directly to his core.
The Canadiens have ALWAYS love Yakupov and are finally in the position where they coul perhaps move a d man and forward and a pick to get it done.
The Bruins are perhaps the most curious in this rumor, but the team has seen a dropoff in pure offensive skill with the losses of Seguin and Horton...and the Bruins have the right pieces...and the Bruins are always looking to upgrade.
more to come...
What would you give up for Nail Yakupov?
