Maybe they should've traded this pick for a character player or two…….

The problem with Edmonton is, they didn't understand what their real problem was. They had plenty of good forwards (Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle, Gagner) and could have picked defenseman Ryan Murray (2nd overall in 2012) in the draft, but instead they chose Yakupov, and now they have an obvious lack in defense. Luckily, they picked Nurse last year...
