this i actually believe... it makes sense for both teams... Although Isles could use a d man i think Yakupov would be great with tavares... I believe it. There 4th overall pick which will probably be Murray and throw in Nino or Parenteau or Moulson...

Jody Shelley, 4th rounder and Kate Upton sex tape for the 1st overall pick.

the 4th overall will surely be Murray with Isles at 1st then Columbus and Montreal picking... There gonna go for forwards... i say Columbus goes Forsberg or Galchenyuk or even Grigs 2nd overall... and 1st is yaky and 3rd is gonna be gally or grigs in MTL.. Then 4th is Murray and 5th could be Dumba or any 1 of Forsberg Gally or Grigs.

Besides Tavares what do the isles have that will be as good as Yakupov? Yakupovs ppg in Junior was on par with Stamkos, Hall, And RNH..therefore he projects as high as those guys.
Hes not big, but not small either and built freakishly strong, and has said that he wants to come to edmonton.

Oilers defence has improved in goals against per game for three straight seasons, their offence has stayed the same..hall, eberle, and rnh are improving but outside of the trifecta oil has nobody who can put up consistant offence(hemsky has become far too injury prone)

Defence can be improved through free agency, college signings, and trades..maybe the oil wont get franchise d this way but is anybody in the draft considered a future franchise defenceman? Far too early to tell..Yakupov is the most sure thing, I say the pick is untradable.

Now if somehow oil can get a second pick in the top five they could come home with both Yakupov and Galchynuk.

If they got the chance I'm sure MTL's gonna draft Forsberg

Montreal and Russians are not a good match

so was hall/Nuge.. ex

Sign him to an entry level deal, then he could go to the minors if needed. IMO that is the most important ufa to go after. At least if he makes it to the market. Heard he is just as good as gardiner.

I love how so many isles fans are like "moving ______ to only move up 3 spots is ridiculous!!!"

this isn't moving from 10-7, you are moving up to the FIRST overall pick and get a player that is CLEAR CUT ahead of every other player in the draft.

B level prospect+4th does not interest us.

Please take Forsberg because Galchenyuk needs to be a Leaf. Thanks in advance!

Don't you think Galchenyuk might be a risky pick ? Suffered a big injury at 17 years old
