Easily worth a high pick yes, but worth #2 overall? I have my doubts.
And that is something completely separate from the fact that he was not the driving force behind those Oiler teams.
Anyways, I agree with Tinordi that Yak was a much much better choice than Murray for #1 overall, so far. It can change in the future, but Murray has to pretty much go Alex Pietrangelo on everyone.
