Springfield Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd love to get Yakupov. Read a bit about him when he came out but never got to watch him cause he was buried in Edmonton and oft injured. Not even sure where he's even playing now, at the moment. He was way talented when he came out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in giving a 30 year old forward a 5-7 year deal that will ultimately cripple your cap and hinder efforts to sign other players. One buy low candidate that might be worth taking a flyer on is Nail Yakupov. Could be a Brett Connolly situation, but I think he's got a higher upside. I tend to agree but GMBM doesn't shy away from signing older players. I think it depends on if Oshie wants top dollar or not or if the Caps can move someone like Orpik or MoJo. Maybe they buy out Orpik this offseason to get rid of that salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season he'll likely be on this third team in 3 years. If the Caps want to take a gamble on an inconsistent, unfocused has-been with lots of talent, they'd honestly be better off bringing Semin back.

Popeman38 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Oshie only scored how many in St Louis? Yeah, some of that is the defensive, impotent system that Hitch**** runs (I know Yeo is coaching now, but what was the complaint in Minnesota?). Yak scored in Edmonton. If they can get him m for cheap ONLY if Oshie walks, it makes sense to take a flier. There are a tone of UFA/RFA on the team. It won't be back as currently constituted.

Which is why I said bring him in on the cheap like they did Connolly, who is also on his 3rd team in 3 years. We have a strong Russian/international contingent here in DC, and that could possibly bode well in Yak's future if he was to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 When the Caps played the style the Flames are currently playing, we were told there was "too much cheat in their game." A Canadian team plays that style and all of a sudden it's solid hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
