Nail Yakupov, the Edmonton Oilers’ leading goal-scorer last season, was a healthy scratch for their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. He’ll be one again as they head to D.C. to face the Washington Capitals on Monday night.

Why? Because he’s not playing the kind of game Coach Dallas Eakins is demanding from his young players. And because Eakins knows the best way to get that message across to his players is to scratch Nail Yakupov.

Never did think he would be the best player out of the draft.
 
But yes I agree, too early to give up.
