How many goals would Yakupov have in that fantasy world?
- blarneylad

Nothing crazy... maybe 150?

Can you imagine if the Oilers drafted differently, they could have a first line of Landeskog, Seguin, Galchenyuk. Scary.

Hall Nuge Eberle isn't too bad.

He did alot of little things good tonight. I don't watch them play much. He impressed me

So the Oilers would be a POWERHOUSE in the east ?

bubble team in the east. basement team in the west

I thought he was pretty unspectacular. Pushed a couple guys around. Threw Gilbert off of him once. He's usually even better

Id still stick with Yak, I really like how he's starting to play.

I love Nuge, he plays a smart efficient game.

instead they'll have a top 6 of

Hall-RNH-Eberle
Perron-Draisaitl-Yakupov

To soft for my liking. I like Hall way better. Better fit for the playoffs.

Not a big fan of Eberle. RNH and Perron are to soft for my liking. Hall is great no doubt, and we can see some flash of Yakupov's talent, but it's to early to tell.

The Jury is still out on him and Galchenyuk.

Let them at least finish their entry contracts before we decide who is better

Seems like a lot of things are too soft for your liking. Perron really is not soft too. RNH has only just become an acceptable NHL weight (190). Not his game to be physical. His game is to be a PP wizard and strong 2way force.

they still have to piece it together, for sure. What did you guys think of Draisaitl's game? I thought he played fairly well

No kidding. Too early to tell between Hall and Seguin let alone Yak n Chuk

Let me know how your team lines up after 82
- blarneylad

It might be decent if they change our schedule to more eastern teams..

Otherwise, prob won't be pretty

Also, both those teams have atrocious power plays

Draisatl was pretty invisible tonight. He should go back to play in the minors. He's only 18 yrs old and he ain't Crosby. Edmonton should be more patient with their young players. Let them develop in the minors. Not every 1st round draft choice is ready to play in the NHL.

I wasn't impressed by him, but then again as an 18 year old he didn't look worse than eller

Draisaitl played a solid game.
He was far from a liability.
He's improved every game almost

Plus, he's been sheltered well and doesn't get many d zone starts.

Not a lot of options anyway

I'd rather they bring in a guy like Cullen or Brodziak and send Draisaitl to the WHL/Europe, but I thought he had a rather strong game. Possessed the puck really well. I'm excited for 21 year old leon

You know who's (frank)ed up? Justin Bourque.

That was fugly. Habs need to simplify a bit and maybe get someone out front more often lost track of the number of times Pacs, DD and Gal were behind the net looking at each other. They either need to leave Beaulieu, he looked hesitant and rusty, in or send him down, yanking him and Tinordi around doesn't do anyone a service.
