Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[dash]

Igor Larionov says he's got a trip planned to Edmonton to discuss how Nail Yakupov is being used. Pretty unhappy.


uh oh. the Professor's pissed

Yak had another over-the-top celly on his goal the other night. I wish he was more like the Professor in that regard.

Craig Custance ‏@CraigCustance 5m If EDM unhappy with him, Larionov said Yak open to trade: "We're willing to make a move. Any team. That happens and that's part of life."

Trade me or I'm going to the KHL?

That always works. Ask Bob.

"I want big contract or I leave for KHL"

"Well, goodbye then. Good luck actually getting paid over there."

"Was only joke. Please don't be mad".



At this point, do you think any team would take a shot at him? Knowing he can flake out and leave for the KHL at any time? I mean, I guess someone would, but they aren't going to give up the top D pair guy the Oil needs.




Well, Holmgren probably still has a phone in his office. So I guess it's possible.

Oilers' Yakupov says he deserves more playing time

"I just want to help, I just want to have fun, I just want to play, he doesn't trust me, something must be done"

this young and making demands. WOW what a twat

How often does a player agent discuss playing time with a head coach? Maybe it happens more often than reported, but it just seems kind of wacky.

/Even for Edmonton.

Dash (and Higgy)...

as soon as they guaranteed Shultz playing time without him proving anything they opened that door for that franchise I suppose

in all seriousness. this is all on Katz. hes allowing those morans to run around doing what they do and sticking his nose in on drafting

@Sun_Tychkowski Yakupov essentially backs up everything Larionov said. He's unhappy, feels he deserves more minutes

I bet Smid is happy he's out of that gong show...

I just saw that in the ongoing NHL thread. Shocking. Can't believe more people aren't talking about it.

Well, the GMs are meeting in Toronto, I don't think the Oil can allow this situation to fester much longer...
