Eklund: Yakupov to Join Hall in NJ?l(e4) Fowler/Bruins. Yotes/Isles Deal? Buzz@1

I've also been talking to the Devils about NJ acquiring Nail Yakupov.



Just so you know.

Yakupov for Hall?

Islanders need a proven #1 wing for the JT line that is better than PA. They do not need more young prospects. They have plenty of those.

Want Yak? He isn't a prospect, he just sucks.

Yeah, watching Yak last night, he's all over the place, tries to do too much. The last time he impressed was when he was with Derek Roy, so, he has potential but it's hard to harness it. Glad that Hall is helping trying to get him, he has to go...que the Metallica...Sad but true.

I'm willing to move Nelson and de Haan and maybe more so I want better than Yak. I want a righty shot that can play on the top line and can play some D.

Yak for a thing that isn't expensive.

Jeff Skinner - Victor Rask - Nail Yakupov
Sebastian Aho - Elias Lindholm - Teuvo Teravainen
Joakim Nordstrom - Jordan Staal - Andrej Nestrasil
Bryan Bickell - Lukas Wallmark - Phil Di Giuseppe

There was a bunch of Dallas Stars scouts at the Oilers game last night.

I think Yakupov would do great in Winnipeg! I am sure Ralph Krueger must have said some good things about the kid to Maurice when they coached during the world cup. Also he could be a part of a deal for Jacob Trouba.

If Trouba doesn't like Winnipeg, why would he like Edmonton?

Ouch, talk about a bust first overall pick. And there were so many great d-man they could have got in that draft, which they desperately needed.

You sure it isn't Adam Larsson talking to chia about acquiring Merrill ?

Well they have the 2nd defenseman drafted in that draft who went 4th overall... he (frank)ing sucks.

so yak for Hanifin

What are the chances of a trade happening near the end of preseason hockey?

Such BS bruins did not offer krug in any deal. Just a completely inaccurate rumour

My insight into all of this is "off the record" too, so I can't really put it out there.

Maybe Brett Pesce.

Maybe.

There's nothing that says something has to be true to be a rumour. It's just a thing that one or two people have said or thought of. Whether or not there's any truth to it is completely irrelevant.

- Alexzanki

So, you want to trade a guy that had 70+ points in 2014-15 for a suspect? Foligno has way more value than Yak. Yak hasn't been decent since his rookie year.

Deharnais for Yak... deal?
