What exactly would be ironic about Yakapov going to Ohio?
- KovyFan27

There was a famous donkey-portrait artist named Imakidin Yakupov from Columbus, OH back in the late 1800's.

Yakupov is not getting traded. STOP IT!!!! Oilers are Shopping for a Second Line Center and A Stud DMEN.

I heard Gagner is on the market...

Columbus was the worst team in the NHL that year, but the Oilers won the draft lottery, jumping ahead of the Blue Jackets.

You and EK might both wanna look up what irony is... lol

Meh. I don't think he'll get traded at all. Typically teams don't give up on 1st overall picks this quickly. It was only 2 years ago, right?

Yeah, if he gets moved, it'll take a few more seasons of struggling.

Can you elaborate on how they're going to get a second line centre and "stud" D? Something tells me I really want to read it.

I hope he is traded to NJ. Then quickly bolts to Russia.

Still bitter.

Columbus finished last that season and was expected to picked 1st overall but the Oilers won the draft lottery therefore moving up to 1st overall and Columbus went second. The Oilers used their 1st pick to draft Yakupov and now he could end up in Columbus anyways

Don't you look like a boob, it can definitely fall into the realm of 'ironic' if Yakupov ends up in Columbus.

...?

the fact that we picked #30 instead of #11 where we would've been?

Woah, calm down, champ. I got the same idea from your post as he did. No need to spaz over it.

Considering Ek's track record with.. I'll go with rufeo.

That being said.. I personally believe Yak will be on his way out.

That is not in any way ironic, but I'm not going to continue arguing about it.

That's literary irony, we're talking about situational irony. Yakupov isn't writing a novel about going to columbus.

Ek, Yak just got on the bus to Arizona after your last rumour. Somebody better stop him and tell him to go to Columbus instead.

If anyone has the balls to take a chance on a player like Yak and give up the package EDM would be looking for - it's Garth.

Agreed. For better or worse
