Well, I'm not claiming he is the best prospect since Crosby. As I said, it's just what I have read.

People were also saying Tavares was better than Stamkos, remember.

I know, I'm not pointing my finger at you.

and yes, Tavares was a better prospect than Stamkos, and I believe he will still go on to have a better career. He doesn't get any help.

To answer the OP's question, whenever I see Yakupov I think of Kessel. I think he will go on to have seasons like the one Kessel is having, but with way more hits of course. A Kessel with edge.

Right.....Lidstrom's come around every day.........hands down top ten at his position all time and not generational?



Any of you guys weighing in on Yak actually watch him play or just spewing crap out that you've heard others say?

Watched him play many times.

And no Lidstrom is not a generational talent. That would be Orr, Gretzky, and Lemieux. That's it.

Would you like to post another snarky comment now?

big ev give your head a shake the nhl has changed and to say lidstrom isnt a generational talent is just dumb! fuk you must be nerdy! how the hell can you say he isnt a talent that we may never see again??? please tell me? who has more norris? cups? etc god i hate guys like you.. let me guess 5'8 220 eating doritos and no gf? lmao ur a joke any more smart ass comments?

I stand by my statement. If you don't like me, ignore me. You don't have to read my posts.

I'm actually around 5'10 and I don't like Doritos.

Wow... unnecessary much?

No, I don't associate with bitch ass trolls.
