@@FirewagonHockey Galchenyuk was given more than enough chances. I think what he did showed his true colours. He could be the best player in the league but what he did is unacceptable
Yak had no hockey sense. He had no ability to work with his line mates. He’d get the puck and then start skating around like he was being chased by a swarm of bees.
Yeah, to be a successful pro-athlete you have to be like a metronome. Talent, yeah it'll get you noticed and a seat at the table, but you have to have table manners and be prepared to learn them. Thats the hard work element of it. After its all over, then you can look back and go, "Wow." Thinking you have nothing to learn, is a sure fire way to burn up all the leeway your talent gave you.
The real problem was thinking he was that good, he wasn’t, he was just physically ready sooner than most of his age group. I remember hearing at the time the oilers scouting staff had Yakupov ranked 7th in Ontario. But apparently the owner was afraid to pass on a potential superstar.
For years, it felt like the Oilers scouts just picked the player everyone else was talking about in the first round and couldn't make any decent picks after that. With Yakupov, it felt like they got set up.
Shockingly one-dimensional. I know there was hope he'd develop into something more but he never had the desire to do so. Such a shame to see someone potentially so talented just blow their chance like that when there's a hundred other guys who would have given anything to get the opportunity.
I always looked at yakapov as a guy where everyone misunderstood his cocky attitude for just betting on himself that got lost in translation. There were definitely things he said I can't defend like the interview with Burke. I wish he worked out but I understand why he didnt
This is very true, definitely feels like a case of lost in translation, or him not being able to get the idea in his head across in a professional manner
Looking back that 2012 draft was pretty weak. Lots of misses in the top 15. Besides Reilly , Cody Ceci might end up playing the most games out of everyone from that draft class.
The NHL is so backwards when it comes to marketing. Dana White confirmed. Its a league based on tenure & obedience, not talent & showmanship. Yak has both immense talent & immense showmanship. They'll always be a 2nd tier league operating as a Good Ol Boys Club
Great example of a guy whose lack of work ethic and problematic personality outweighed his talent and skill. With a better attitude and a more adaptable mindset he would've actually had potential as a player. Yakupov just mentally wasn't in the game and wasn't a coachable player. He wasn't willing to adapt or do the extra things that you have to do to be successful.
Nathan MacKinnon yelled at Jared Bednar on the bench. Since then, JB has let Nate do whatever he wants, get as much ice time as he wants, run the PP like he wants, ignore poor defensive efforts like he wants, & NEVER EVER practice faceoffs. It was so much more fun in the 80s/90s
You should talk about Morgan Really(Rielly). How he's -14 this year, and hes absolute trash. 7.5 mil for a player with 5 goals , 15 assists and -14. One of the worse defencemen in the league, who for multiple times this year has been scored on in the 1st minute of a game.
When I saw that interview after they beat Canada, I was like “nope”, this kid isn’t going to be a good player. Even with talent, you could tell just from that arrogance that he would be a cancer in the locker room.
Wrong, its just that he needs to be The Guy & not a 3rd line forechecker. The NHL is so Mid now: its pathetic to watch. No hitting, no fighting, no emotion, no personality
I wonder if he thought up his Russia is better than Canada at hockey statement as he packed his bags heading for Canada's hockey system as soon as he was eligible? The Russian star that was just alright here and couldn't hack it at all in the NHL.
Guys like this have to be given #1 status. Yak struggled from competing with the other Stars & skating in their shadow. MacKinnon is given a very long leash by Bednar, but only bc the other Star was traded away: Duchene. MacK struggled being a 2C in his first few seasons. MacKinnon frequently coasts on D & has NEVER practiced faceoffs. His FO % is terrible! It wasn't coincidence that MacK only flourished when Dutchy was sent packing. Its an ego & status thing. If Duchene were still an Av, MacKinnon would've prob been traded already for the same reasons as everyone blames Yak for in this video.
It’s was all mental.. management wanted to trade the pick and get some pieces and make that next step but ownership wanted yakupov. You can even see it on tambelini’s face when he drafted him😂 I guess he was right who knows what could’ve happened. But we wouldn’t have mcdavid
...and Daigle later openly admitted that he lost interest in hockey as soon as her was drafted and wanted to quit and move to L.A. and become a famous actor, bang models, do coke and bullshit
His brain couldn't process the NHL. I think the massive concussion he got in juniors probably scrambled his brains at the worst possible time. If your brains get scrambled you want it to happen after it's been wired for a specific job.
yeah honestly the vibe i get from his whole persona is he actually has a bit of a mental problem thats probably holding him back. The incontrollable emotions displays, the boasting, the weird way his body seemed to be nhl level but his brain didnt on the decisions...dude was probably scrambled like you say
@joelgrosschmidt5507 happened to someone close to me. It really stunts development for a while and definitely contributes to some of the impulsive behaviors of Nail you describe. Maturity seems to backwards. I guess we will never know.
Yak has an unreal slap shot. So do Al MacInnis + Brett Hull but both those MEN took it upon themselves to round out their games and prove themselves each and every time they got on the ice. Al Mac was suppose to max out as Fulton Reid on the Power Play. He flat out could not skate when he got to the NHL but he worked his ASS off and became a Norris Trophy winner. Brett Hull didn't even get drafted into Canadian Major Junior Hockey and he ripped his way to 700+ goals in every way you could think of, outscored his dad in the Show who is Hockey Royalty & won 2 cups along the way. #NotTooShabby I guess following in your famous father's footsteps doesn't translate to instant success in hockey like it does in the NBA #Brony #LeBumBlames or Federal Politics #JustineTrudeau. #Nepotism You wanna climb the Hockey Mountain, you gotta put in that WORK. Yak didn't want to put in the WORK.
He had/has an unreal slap shot because that is the only thing he likes working on😂. But on a more serious note, I agree, he didn't want to push himself and put in the work on the aspects of his game that were lacking, and ultimately that led to his downfall. Just because you have one good aspect of the game doesn't mean you should disregard other aspects of the game. Yakupov probably has the most turnovers in NHL history; his hockey IQ and defense just weren’t there.
Leave Yakupov along..he is in KHL at home in Omsk Avangard one of championship contenders best sniper of team…very happy and relaxed…away from crazy canadian media and fans…in Russia things more slow and relaxed 😎
Yeah, Russia where everything is controlled by mobsters on Putin's good side (until they get too close to a window) and the little people are alcoholic bigots "more slow and relaxed"
I don't know, post-USSR Russians have pretty much been generally unreliable. Back in the days, we had Bure, Mogilny, Larionov, Fedorov, among a myriad other excellent Russian players. Maybe it's a cultural problem? I mean, the Soviets had way stricter discipline back then.
100% Oilers fault....not even splitting that filthy hair....Bring him back, might be a good luck charm. Bet he scores over 30 goals with the current Oilers.
Well if it isn’t my fav oiler troll! How’s your looser Canucks doing this year? The Canucks let Podkozin go for nothing😂😂 great trade! He is our new Russian good luck charm looser.
Yakupov had potential? Not really. His OHL numbers were good, but not particularly impressive. It is no surprise that Yak turned out to be one of the biggest draft busts in the history of professional sports.
sounds nothing like Bedard..humble kid, team player, generational talent who handles himself very humbly and shows respect to league and towards other players..playing on the crappy crappy chicago team..you re 100 miles off
@@SynoGGthere needs to be a rule that teams that draft first overall can't get top 3 picks for three next drafts, two next drafts for second overall and the next draft for third overall. Then rising stars wouldn't have to start their careers in a team that's tanking, and it would make tanking less advantageous in general.
Bedard's rookie season is already miles better than Yakupov's. Bedard in 2 seasons is likely to have more points than Yakupov had in his whole 6-year career. Bedard is humble and has an incredible work ethic. Yakupov was not and did not. The two are nothing alike on and off the ice.
Still beating the guy down 13 years after getting drafted. Still made fun of for a very Russian frank response...14 years ago from a cocky teenager with poor English? Pathetic video.
I remember when he once refused to play with Draisaitl. "The guy is not good enough to play with me".
Funny.
MacK used to intimidate teammates like Burakovsky.
We went from the worst draft pick two the two best players in the league today. So not bad
And we ended up with those two because of Yakupov. Plus McT's insisting that they take Draisaitl
Really?!
I didn't know that MacKinnon and Kucherov got traded to the Oilers. 😀 😛
