Nail Yakupov Is A Smart Young Man



"MacTavish knows that Yakupov has to be a top-six forward, but he can’t be an offensive player with only 14 points in 37 games, only two even-strength goals, and only nine points five-on-five with the season half over."

“I can’t say it was good. I want to play more. It’s pretty cold on the bench, but I have to work in practice and find more minutes,” said Yakupov, who had been averaging close to 15 minutes until the last two games."

Yeah it's fucking cold on the bench, the kid isn't even getting 15 minutes of ice time how is he suspossed to sweat? Doesn't help he's playing the majority of his games in Edmonton where is has to be about -10 this time of year. It's pretty clear he wanted to say ", but I have to start double layering my under garnets like I did a in squirts cause I'm not going anywhere." Instead of the bull shit about working hard. But obvously Nail is no dummy, why work hard when you can collect almost a Mil a year riding pine pony? 

BTW: it's gotta be hard for a guy to accumulate points only playing 8-15 minutes a night on a team like Edmonton on the 4th fucking line.
 Oh and his +\- ratio? He's playing 8-15 minutes a night on a team like Edmonton on the 4th fucking line.
