I don't what to say about the Oilers. They let Hall go when they should have kept him or got a better deal for him. Now they trade Yakupov for a washing machine (not literally a washing machine, but they might as well got one). So Yakupov to the Blues for a Zach Pochiro, a 4th rounder that was playing in the ECHL last year, and a conditional 3rd round pick which will most likely be a 2nd round pick.
Next up on the "get a Oilers #1 pick for next to nothing" Nugget-Hopkins.
