What do you think of Nail Yakupov being healthy-scratched?

I'm OK with it. Development isn't a straight line, and Coach knows best.

Fine, as long as he gets right back into action and a chance to play with regular line-mates for a while.

Yak's getting a raw deal. He's a first-line talent who deserves to be on the first line.

Oilers would be better served losing Eakins to the unemployment line than Yakupov to the KHL.

I can think of a few other candidates who deserve a "reset" before Yak does.

It surprises me how Ralph K. New which buttons to press when it comes to Nail Y. And now with new coach Dalas E. who did say as a coach in this league u have to know what it is that makes each player click, unfortantally in Yakupuv case it's not working and neither is the power play so I think if ur benching him and ur power play isn't very good why not just put him in the line up and use his strongest assets on the power play so he can use his shot and gain his confidence..
