Anyways, i suppose its a bit of a moot point considering Nichushkin has yet to play in the NHL.

I was not comparing Yakupov
now to Nichushkin. I was comparing Yakupov at the time of his draft to Nichushkin at his draft (a fair comparison).
The discussion was about where Yak would have gone in this year's draft. While Yak has more pure skill and talent, I still think Nich would have been favored between the two.
But regardless, hockey isn't a contest of who has the most talent, it is a team game. And there is no question for me, that I would rather have Nich on my team than Yak. (which illustrates where I think Yak would/should have gone this year)
Re the bold: seriously? If you want to discuss, great. But if you're going to go with 'have you watched him play' then stick to he Oilers board.
