There was the argument that Yakupov was made to look even better by Galchenyuk's play. When Galchenyuk was injured Yakupov's numbers dropped off slightly, and I remember reading that had Galchenyuk not been injured so severely he would have definitely been in contention for the 1st overall pick. He also would have filled our major, long-standing organisational need.
