Good. Now if they can convince him to start playing hockey in October instead of February they might have something.

Nail should hold out for the 6X6 contract that RNH, Eberle, and Hall received.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Yakupov is 2 years, $2.5M AAV

Checks the date to make sure it's not April 1st - Damn, that's a good signing by MacT.

I don't know, maybe Yak is keeping tabs on what's going on in the mother land, that Russian economy ain't exactly doing well these days.

bolting FROM the K is the new bolting TO the K

Of course, Yak's new contract also comes with a green jacket for winning the +/- Masters (he beat Jordan Spieth by 15 strokes at -33)

Some highlights from the MacT presser:

• Better this year than last year

• Missed 7 years not 9

• Failure is springboard for success

• Justin Schultz blah blah blah

• Expect only incremental improvement next year

• We are going to be an entertaining team that rolls 3 lines

• Better this year than last year

Did anyone ask him to define "better?" Because 67 points last year vs. 62 points this year seems to me to be the opposite of "better"

One of the catchphrases they have been using repeatedly in Edmonton this past season is "visually better".

But he *is* still in Edmonton. Unless he goes to Siberia, anywhere over there is better...

He's strictly referring to number of goals let in from center ice.

not true ... hes getting paid in US dollars in edm ... and he can go to the mall and spend those dollars

Sochi's team GM Alex Mogilny announced a couple weeks back that they hadnt paid players for a month

and the russian govt has officially changed the name of the currency from ruble to rubble ... true story!
