Edmonton is frustrated and desperate and need a change. They are looking to blame their troubles on one player but expect a big return if they trade him even though there has been friction between the player and management. Is Yaks a bit of a diva, sure, but who cares. They have to give up something to get something significant.

Then need a solid veteran than can lead and produce and be signed for say five years or so. It sounds like they may have to over pay, when they want another team to overpay for budding stars. They are not dealing from a position of strength when you look at the standings.

Which is why you won't see an immediate big deal. Mactavish is not a stupid man.

and saying that they're blaming everything on Yakupov is stupid. The criticism has been legion over most of the team.

The Russian Alexandre Daigle?

Eklund: The Russian Alexandre Daigle? Trade Winds Rush in Western Canada.

Hansen and a 2nd for Yakupov. He has proved nothing in this league. He had one good year in Junior, big deal. So far the kid is a bust.

That's werid, you seem angry and arrogant! This is unlike you. Are you feeling OK?
You've done nothing to dispel the fact that Yak is a bust. Good for you.

Well, I will give you the fact that he is lighting it up this season. Has he scored his 3rd goal yet? If he keeps up this torrid pace he should hit the 9 goal mark some time around March. Kid's a stud.

Exactly as I thought. Just more trash talking from a d__che that cant come up with anything original. Your SO funny...

You mean the kid that as a 19 yr old scored more than any Canuck last season? By a pretty good margin?

I guess your whole team are a bunch of busts...

GFY.

Nice. It's OK, my little brother also sometimes resorts to personal insults when he can't think of a logical rebuttal to an argument too.
So I guess if scoring 9 goals doesn't qualify as a bust for the 1st overall pick then what does? Maybe if he is a healthy scrat- Oh wait...

EDIT: My little brother is 7 years old.

I think when someone speaks the truth, it is less comedy and more drama. No?

You're upset at him because he is right? Or because he is rubbing it in?

You reacted like this last night when I was saying Yak may have a bad attitude, and reacted with insults, just like you're doing again.

And I wonder how much his ice time compares to the Canucks he outscored?

It ain't all about points. Hockey is a team game. Mr. No defense Yak needs to contribute, and that is why he is losing ice.

I'm starting to think iggybuff IS yakupov. He is bigger than the "team"

Ah you again. Go on. Lets hear your asinine trade proposals again...

And to answer your question. Yak played 14:33 TOI last year. Less than 17 of Vancouvers players and he out scored them all. And as a rookie. Yup he must be a bust.

Never made a trade proposal. Give your head a shake.

and you didnt answer my question. I think you need to read it slower. How does his ice time currently compare to those he outscored?

I was starting to get worried that you had broken your computer after reading about how others had the gall to have a differing opinion than you. It can be frustrating when people don't agree with you, I know. There, there...
Turns out you were just researching Yak/Gretzky Jr's ice time. Nice that he had 4 more goals than any Canuck last year. I remember his hat trick against the Canucks in the last game of the season when Canucks were resting their regulars. Quite an accomplishment for sure. And it's encouraging to see that he is building off an average rookie season. Nobody said scoring a goal a month at this level would be easy.
