Yakupov is not worth Nelson, I would only give Bailey and Donovan for him. Needs change of teams badly to be the player he was in Juniors

3.) 10 Nov 2014
Then keep Bailey and Donovan because they never get you Yakupov. Why would Edmonton trade him for those players? Besides Bailey they aren't an improvement, so no.

4.) 10 Nov 2014
Edmonton doesn't want to get rid of him.

They are open to a trade for the right return, which isn't that proposal

5.) 10 Nov 2014
Kidding me right? I personally stopped reading after the first trade.

Draft Bust- went 9th overall plays on the 3rd/4th line.
AHL Player
Old guy with 4.1m (36yrs)
FOR
Yakupov (21) (Good season start) (900k salary) (Former 1st overall)

Despite being -33 last year. I would choose him over those any day.

@nhlfunfacts

1. 6 points in 15 games with a -4 isn't a good season start for yak
2. nail makes like 3+ mil in actual dollars, cap hit means nothign atm for the isles or EDM really, neather are up against the cap.
3. you use his draft position as a possitive for him, but a negative for bailey. contradiction much?

Who is the old guy with 4.1m?

8.) 11 Nov 2014
Horrible yrade for edmonton

9.) 11 Nov 2014
@warrior 24 I think he means Mark Streit.

10.) 11 Nov 2014
Oh, the guy that has not been on the Isles for 2 years, Mark Streit?

He actually has more trade value than Brian Strait who is currently on the Isles, and I cringe every time he steps on the ice for his shifts.

Yeah he's a Flyer for the 2nd year now I think.
