Yakupov on the Move? Where? Leafs Sign Enroth for a Year

Remember way back when? When word spread how Edmonton Oilers forward Nail Yakupov had asked for a trade and all? Well, that hasn't been talked about much lately, but that desire for a move, which is shared by the Oilers I am told, is still very real.

Today I have been calling around and New Jersey, Boston, Montreal,and Dallas have all kept this on their radar. One source I spoke to said, "Absolutely no way he doesn't get moved by the start of the regular season. I would guess we are talking about a Yakupov trade while the World Cup is going on in Toronto."

Some continue to downplay his value, but that feels more like propaganda than reality. Yakupov may not land you a King's ransom, but there are teams out there who are more than willing to talk.

Another source said he would be playing in Vegas next year..."He'd be a great get for an expansion team."

What do you think will happen with Yakupov?
How much would you give up for him?

On Enroth...

Really smart move by the Leafs to ink Enroth to be their backup. I am a big fan of Jhonas, who grew up, as I did, idolizing Pelle Lindbergh. I believe Enroth is an extremely capable backup who can step up to a number 1 role as needed.
