Mike Harrington: Yakupov was a big topic this morning for egregious giveaway Tuesday. Still don't know how EDM didn't take Seth Jones. Dopes.
Nice fact-checking. :|
3-1 against the lowly Coyotes and outshot 45-25. Wow, the lowest of the lows.
Leafs now have a 7.5 % chance of getting McDavid.
This is a concern.
I know nobody here has any clue who either of those players are, but that's a pretty big prospect for prospect trade.
Gustav Forsling was Sweden's best d-man during this year's U20 tournament (and if memory serves me well, he was named as one of the two best d-men in the whole tournament) while Adam Clendening was one of Chicago's best defense prospects.
The trade looks like one Vancouver did because they need a player good enough to be on the roster right away. While Clendening is a good prospect, he's kinda fallen behind in the Blackhawks depth chart (Rundbland & Ville Pokka) since the beginning of the season. It doesn't look like there's a spot for him in Chicago, and so they traded him for another good d prospect out of Sweden where they can wait & hope for him to develop his game patiently.
