Mtl rumoured to be trying to acquire Yak.

Plausible trade?

MTL: Nail Yakupov

EDM: Lars Eller, Beaulieu or Juulsen, mid-high pick (2nd/ 3rd/ 4th)

Yaks value is low but i think if montreal wanted him they would need to give up at least a promsing D prospect, a pick, and a mid-aged roster player.

What do you think?

That's too much for an unproven scorer.

Beaulieu and a 3rd (it'll be early in the third)

For

Yak.

Why do people place so much importance on Yakupov? He's not worth more then Weise or Lars Eller alone at best.

Roughneck with that logic drouin is worth no more than dale weise because he hasn't proven anythin yet. give your head a shake, yeah he's underperformed but edmonton is not moving him for nothing.

I would take Juulsen, Reway and 2nd round pick. But it won't happen.

A rumored trade possibility is Eller, Emilin, Juulsen for Yak and Fayne.
I would wish for Bealieu and Eller for Yak and Faybe myself IF he goes to Montreal.

Yak sucks. He should have no problem scoring in a wide open system.

no from MTL.

jamesvanhockey, with "that logic"? Hockey is based on my type of logic. Not only has Yak never shown any signs of a scorer, his plays are horrible and has the +- to prove it. You think that GM's will just overlook those details after 4 years in the NHL? Keep dreaming!

The only team that might overpay for him are the Habs as some believe Yak could find his touch playing with his good friend Galchenyuk. I cannot understand why as playing in junior and pros is completely different.

As for Drouin, at least he did show good signs of being a future top 6 forward.

Give my headd a shake? You amateurs are funny!

Yaks rookie season he showed he can put up numbers. And yeah his +/ - is unreal bad. How about a deal around Scherbak?

Can't look at +- look at ovechkin one year every team still want him.

Roughneck you seem like an amateur right now. Yakupov is still young, still has potential and worth more than Weise lol. I can't stand Yak but come on don't try to back up an absurd claim with that "logic"

Plus/ minus is impacted by the team's you are on. Go look at the plus/ minus leaders and the ones at the bottom.

Second he was rushed into the NHL because Edmonton deserperatly needed success. He is still very young and can still prove to be an ok NHL player. He has a lot of talent and has shown many flashes of a player who can play in the NHL.

So saying that an expiring contract in Weise could fetch him is not logial, and absurd.

Good day.

Emilin has a full NTC this year so would have to agree to go to oilers. just asking him if he wants to be on a horrible team for a while.
