Some Yakupov trades.

To MTL: N.Yakupov, L.Brossoit, 2015 3rd round pick
To EDM: J.De La Rose, Z.Fucale

Explanation: Yakupov would be re-united with Galchenyuk. Fucale has a bigger chance to be the starter for the EDM Oilers since Carey Price is locked to #1.

To Vancouver: N.Yakupov
To Edmonton: 2015 1st round draft pick, 2015 6th round draft pick.

Vancouver is looking for a forward that could potentially fill the top 6 role. EDM gets another 1st round draft pick.

Banning said he wasn't trading picks unless it was really worth it. Yakupov isn't worth it, he's not the "meat and potatoes" kinda guy that Benning likes
