I've got to go with the Snickers vote. We need to bring those on the spaceship.

If Yak scores 25 - 30 with St Louis this season Chirelli should be strung up along with the rest the management group.

If Yak scores more than 15 the Oil get a second round pick. Do you really think anyone was offering better than a second rounder for Yak?


He was a draft bust. Time for them to cut their losses.

I don't think anyone was making any offers. Thats not to say he isn't skilled and in the right system he could thrive.

I liked it. Two guys failing to live up to potential getting a change of scenery. Oh well.

Devils are dreadfully thin on the right side, to a point where Blake Speers a 19 year old 3rd round pick is probably going to be on the opening night roster.

I am pretty sure he had chances with Nuge as well. Not going to say I watched him as much as these guys but besides a great shot (that did not have great accuracy) he was not really able to play hockey. By that I mean he was unable to see plays develop or find something useful to do without the puck. Making it pretty difficult for the guy to develop chemistry with any decent players and only a guy like McDavid was able to make enough plays to put Yak in position.

Unless, he is an amazing player who is so resentful at Oil MGMT that he has played uber crappy hockey on purpose for 2 years just to get traded for nothing and make the Oilers look bad......which seems to be the argument of some people here? I don't get it.

Agree 100%

Rex Murphy knows his sh1t.

So I have Yak and Hall in a keeper league (Draisitl,RNH,Talbot too) and was hoping they would be part of an offensive juggernaut when the Oilers hit their potential.

I do have Lucic though. Hope they ride him hard with McDavid

The management wanted Murray as well
- laughs2907

I heard it was Katz that really wanted a trip to Yak City with the hopes it would lead to a stop over in pound town.

this is an Oilers thread, Flames fans should remember when the Blues stole Brett Hull from them. Thank you. he did not even like you enough to call it his own country. hence the reason he playd for the USA every time

The Devils had two 30 goal scorers last year on the lowest scoring team in the league. They are going to lean heavy on Hall and he will have some consistency at center with Henrique.

I'll bet Hall puts up career best numbers this year......and the Devils still miss the playoffs.

But Yak stinks.

He was butthurt that he wasn't good enough to play for Team Canada.

I am wondering if Alfie is not just a computer program made by RC to post mindless drivel and relentlessly troll the Edmonton thread as revenge for ruining his life. Laughs can you do some research into this?

I don't want to be offed... RC has a bigger body count than the Clintons

WTF!

We got a Stanley cup from that trade. How many cups did Hull win you? Asshat!

This is true... Yak and Harrison had many of the same hobbies at the time (Lego Blocks, digging for boogers, puppet shows, etc) so in Yak, Katz thought he had found a friend for life for young Harrison.

Isn't the plan to use RNH as the second line center for the time being? Also I thought if they kept Caggulia up then they might use Draisaitl on the wing where he played pretty well last year?
