Thread: Capitals Shake up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>Without knowing what the off-ice issues are exactly, makes this hard to say whether or not he is worth moving back a round for him. If it is a mental health thing that he recovers from than I could see someone moving back to grab him for a relatively cheap price. He was a high end piece for Vancouver and couldn't find his stride in D.C. maybe its the system or maybe its what he needed to go into the NHLPA program for. Hard to tell, but i feel like if he was cleared he would make an ideal Blackhawk if he came back to form</div></div>

The uncertainty is part of what would make him a cap dump, though. But, even if positive value were in the cards, it wouldn't be from the 2nd to the 3rd. It would be something more like trading back from the 4th round to the 5th round.

Thread: Mock Draft with Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>Understandable there, but its something he can develop. He can always work on break outs. I just feel like the pros you get with him are better than the cons when comparing him to other high ranking d-prospects</div></div>

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. There are some wicked defensive prospects, some of whom definitely grade out higher than Yakemchuk, but the package he brings to the table is undeniable. Can't see him falling further than like...12? At the worst. RHD are treated like unicorns in the NHL, teams just aren't passing up on an RHD with his big frame, who knows how to use that size, and with the obvious talent he has over details. The things that make him special are the things that just can't be taught, any development staff worth their salt can teach him to pick his spots on breakouts or defensive positioning or whatever warts he might have. I'd be very happy with him at 8 for Ottawa, though admittedly part of that is just because I want to hear PxP guys struggling with calling Tkachuk, Ostapchuk and Yakemchuk on the same team
