Breznjev ::Zato što ih obožavam

Oilers have agreed to terms with 2011 first-round draft pick, defenceman Oscar Klefbom, on a three-year entry level contract.

Will stay in Sweden another year.

RNH i Eberle bili u Vegasu izgleda da su se dobro zabavili

Stvarno mi nisu jasni Oilersi, ok uzeli su Yakupova, al kak uzmeš onda nekakvo longshot krilo na početku druge runde dok su Finn ili čak Pokka dostupni

Citao sam danas neke stvari o odlukama njihove uprave i stvarno ima cudnih odluka.

Hahahaha, ovaj PD FAQ je gotivan..

The 2012 NHL Draft is upon us. Many hockey fans know these prospects well. Others are aware there's a guy named "Nail" and some other dudes among the top picks. Please allow Puck Daddy's 2012 NHL Draft FAQ to fill in the gaps.

Who is this person?
Nail Yakupov, right wing and a native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia.
How do you say ...?
Nah-eel Ya-ku-poff
So wait … it's not pronounced "Nail", as in "Fail For"?
Nope, sorry.
Can we just all agree to call him "Nail" anyway?
Sure, because he's down with it, according to the Edmonton Sun: "He's cool with it being pronounced Nail, and he expects he'll end up being called that throughout his hockey career."
OK, so Jeff Marek can say "Nail hammered on the boards" on Sportsnet, and we can all giggle?
Yes.
And if he's drafted some dreg of the NHL, we can still go with "Nail Gets Screwed"?
No, sorry, then it reverts back to "Nah-eel."
Damn. OK, so where did he play?
Yakupov played for the OHL Sarnia Sting for two seasons after a year in Russian junior. He scored 170 points in 107 games, which is decent, we suppose.
What does he do to make scouts drool on their wrinkled suits?
The consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 Draft, Yakupov has drawn comparisons to Pavel Bure for his speed, shot and for the overall outstanding qualities in his game. And who's making such lofty comparisons? Scotty Bowman, no less. He's a fierce competitor on the ice and an engaging personality away from the rink. Did we mention his blazing speed?
What does he do to make scouts pop antacids?
The "Russian Factor" is the primary one, but it probably doesn't apply to a first overall choice with two years in the OHL. Beyond that, it's probably just headaches over how much this kid is going to earn now and down the road.
Is he on Twitter?
Sorta? He has one cyber-squatted, uh, "reserved" for him @NailYakupov. There hasn't been a tweet yet and he has close to 2,200 followers. UPDATE: Huzzah, he is on Twitter at @nail10_1993.
Celebrity he most resembles?
The love child of that werewolf from "Twilight" and Zach Parise.



Three Questions with Puck Daddy's own Dmitry Chesnokov with Yakupov (full interview here):
1. Being first overall must mean something to you?
"Being at the NHL draft already means a lot. And of course being the first overall pick is an honor. It would be great, of course. But still, someone who is picked in the sixth round, for example, will still get the same chance as you. Both will be given an opportunity to show what you've got. When you're drafted, you're given a chance. And then it's up to you what you do with that chance. Only time will tell."
2. Do you think that fact that you are Russian will hurt you? There is the so-called "Russian Factor" present at the draft.
"I don't think it will hurt me. I honestly don't think it matters. As far as someone being afraid that Russian players will leave, that's why we are playing here. And it's not even my first year, but my second one already. You also have an agent who talks to scouts. As for me personally, if I am given a chance to try myself in the NHL, I will certainly try myself in the NHL. Yes, if you are playing in the KHL, then teams are afraid when they pick you. But if not, like I, I would rather try to play in the NHL. It is never too late to go back to Russia. But I can't control what someone may be afraid of. I will just do the best that I personally can, whatever depends on me, to be the best player, to be the number one draft pick."
3. Did you have a favorite NHL team growing up?
"I really liked some player. Pavel Bure was my favorite. I still remember him play. As for teams, I really like watching Vancouver, Pittsburgh and Detroit play. But I just like any hockey. I watch hockey at home regardless of what teams are playing."
Where will he be drafted?
That would be No. 1 overall. Even if the Oilers move the pick, the trading partner will be moving up to snag him.

Nail Yakupov, shooting on Canada at World Juniors. Awesome:

Ralph Krueger novi coach

Schultz ce u Edmonton.. ... Koji ce sledece sezone imati prosek godina 23 ili tako nesto verovatno..

Edmonton re-signs Devan Dubnyk (2 years, $3.5M per) & Jeff Petry (2 years, 1.75M per).

Ovaj ugovor koji je Dubnyk dobio je stvarno pretjeran.

Pa ono, bice im prvi golman, ili 50-50 u najnajnajmanju ruku.
Mada nije zreo jos, po meni.

SymphonyX ::Edmonton re-signs Devan Dubnyk (2 years, $3.5M per) & Jeff Petry (2 years, 1.75M per).

Ovaj ugovor koji je Dubnyk dobio je stvarno pretjeran.

Al je zato Perty bio ispod cjene...

Taylor Hall:

Some guy at the grocery store just congratulated me on my contract and
then asked if I would pay for his groceries. Kind of weird

Jordan Eberle re-signs with generous Oilers for 6 years at $36 million
The deal comes just eight days after the Oilers signed Taylor Hall for the same cap hit ($6 million aav) over seven years.

Considering Eberle's shooting percentage appears to be unsustainable, it's entirely possible the Oilers could have signed him for less next year if they had been patient. But patience was hardly on Tambellini's mind. It seems clear that he wanted to get these deals done before the CBA expired and the new one put the term limit at five years. That didn't give him much time to play hardball with Eberle at all. And so he just... didn't.
