If he's good enough to play I'm the top 6, he will. People act like AV or Gillis are doing the worst job in the league at player development.

I like how Gillis and AV develop and don't like to rush prospects or throw young players into the fire. If they take off back to Russia then that boat load return isn't a boat load, hey if we could get him for Schneider, Raymond and our 1st I'm all for it but I wouldn't overpay to get that pick.

If we make that trade and draft Yaks, who then says "Very happy to be here", we're ****ed.

I personally don't see him being KHL bound. Doesn't seem like the most popular move these days.

I've seen it in 4 different articles here's one cuz I'm to lazy to get the others look at the bottom.

What would be great if we won the cup this year and then pick 1st overall as well, Oilers board will blow.

It is unlikely to happen, I agree, but what I'm curious is what do you think it would take?

Is Schneider, Raymond, Tanev, plus 2012 1st rounder too much?

Take Tanev out and add another first. I think Schneider, Raymond and two firsts would be enough. Than hopefully Schultz signs here on July first.

That would get their GM fired... but hey if we could do it I'm all for it but that isn't good enough, imo. CBJ GM is trying to save his job now.

At least he's played junior in Canada so culture shock shouldn't be an issue. I know Radulov did too but I don't see it being an issue with Yakupov.

They won't want Raymond.

Schneider
Schroeder
2012 1st
2013 1st

would be my offer. Throw in Tanev to sweeten the deal if necessary.

This kid would almost certainly extend our window for years.

Well think about it.

Out
Carter and first overall.


In
Schneider, Johnson, Raymond and three first rounders.

It's not enough, these are late late 1st round picks, Raymond is on the outs in Vancouver and isn't tempting for a 1st overall, sure he may be part of it but no way would he be anything close to a selling point in it. Their GM gets fired after this deal.

I think your underestimating the value of a franchise goalie.

[Proto]

Why would they trade Yakupov for more uncertain 1st round picks? All this speculation seems ridiculous. If they are seriously considering this trade, I would think it would be for a package that would include more NHL ready players than just a goaltender. Otherwise, what's the purpose?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Nothing linking the Canucks to this other than speculation, and the subject is being discussed at great length in the Armchair GM Thread. This discussion can continue there.

Closed.
