I won't get into the rest, but Yakupov was not an asset. He was a liability that had no future on the team due to his own inability to adjust and adapt. Moving him for anything was good for the team. Can we stop pretending that he had any value to us or any other team?

Should have gotten rid of him sooner when he had more value. Same with Shultz. We gave him away and he's proving to be a useful asset to Pitt.

My point is it wasn't the fault of Chiarelli that previous management had already destroyed any value they had. He did what he should've. Schultz needed a change of scenery to a team and conference whose style he fits him better.

I dunno

Even a year earlier, his value wasn't super high.
He's the perfect example of a sink or swim asset.

Kid clearly had skills, but was struggling. Being a first overall, the prudent move imo is to see if he can figure it out and fulfill even some of that potential. which makes him Exponentially more valuable to us than what we could've even gotten a little while earlier.
But with that, you take the risk that he sinks and has no value.

Unfortunately he sunk. It happens.

However, I will say even the risk factor is exaggerated.
We lost out a year earlier on maybe a decent prospect or a 2nd.


Incidentally, I think Reinhart is much the same. Someone mentioned jettisoning (is that a word?) him recently. Just not worth it for the return and what we payed for him. . Even the possibility of a stay at home 3rd pairing guy going forward is worth more than the return right now. Again, sink or swim

Except a bright future in the NHL. And he could be traded for more than a third round pick. Oh, and he backchecks. Yak never really figured that out.

And the Janitor didn't piss off the rest of his team by demanding top six minutes, failing to produce with the minutes he didnt deserve, and go public on a trade demand twice.

Gotta wonder how many trade demands he made that didn't go public.

- fry

Do you have evidence of this so called bright future mcFly?
Does he really command more than a 3rd round pick?

You make these claimes ( hopes, dreams,etc) as though they are facts, when they are nothing of the sort.

Any suggestions for a good video camera for around a g-note?

I'm cool, so I say things like g-note now.
