Emelin has a limited NTC with 10 teams he won't go to, wanna bet EDM in on that list? |

Ya you're right cause nobody wants to play with McDavid. Just ask Lucic and Sekera |

No, Emelin and Lucic have....history. That would most likely be the reason. |

If you are getting a former #1 pick for an average defensemen and two lesser pieces, bergevin must have pictures chiarelli doesn't want to go public. |

Based on the hall trade, the only thing left you have to trade for hamonic is mcdavid. |

We're not bent over a barrel for a defenseman anymore. We have no reason to make a trade like that again. Plus Larsson>Hamonic. If anything, I think you guys are more under the gun to get a legit winger to play with Tavares before he gets fed up and leaves town after his contract is up. |

Yakupov sucks though... Doesn't matter if he was a #1 or not. |

Emelin and his cap hit wouldn't be enough to land Yakupov, with that said I don't think Yak is the type of player they should be targeting. .. a Emelin for Hartnell trade would make more sense, to me anyway |

I don't think you've paid much attention to the numerous interviews that JT has done this summer then, because he's not interested in leaving.
You'd better hope larsson is better than hamonic, and the bottom half of your defense is garbage. One injury and you're down to a single decent pairing.

This can be said about just about anyones D. If a main guy goes down you're in trouble. That's the way it is. But no you're right it's just the Oilers D because they're so terrible. And players praise the city they're in an organization they represent all the time. Do you think he's gonna do an interview and say (frank) the Isles and drop the mic? If you guys don't get him a legit 1st line winger to play with I'm willing to bet he goes to UFA in 2 seasons. He's too good to play with the garbage he's been given thus far. |

"To say Edmonton is being aggressive would be an understatement," One NHL executive texted me.
It's interesting how a 'NHL executive' texted Eklund using a turn-of-phrase that Eklund uses all the time himself in his own writing... |

Considering the Hall trade, it will probably be Yakupov for a conditional 7th round pick.
Seriously, Chia must be a Trojan horse for the NHL. Having McDavid out shadowing Hall on the same team isn't good for business. Edmonton will have fans no matter what, NJ needs an exciting player to have fans. Think about it. |

He probably wants to stay, but seriously, as an Islander, what do you expect him to say in the interviews? "I want to leave ASAP?"
And you're right about EDM defence being bad. And Larsson might honestly just become an average dman. Worst trade of the decade. |

I mean, he's already above average so unless you're suggesting regression, I don't see how he could become "just an average Dman". |

Only Peter Chiarelli is dumb enough to trade Yakupov for Emelin...so I guess it could happen. |

He'll be a more than capable shut down d-man. Believe me when I tell you that. If he can muster some more offense then he's a real stud. |
