Panel Brendl was as legit a goal scorer as they come. He had 22 career points in the NHL.

The difference is that Yakupov has proven, to the extent he has had the opportunity, that he can score at the NHL. Absolutely still could be a flash in the pan but that kind of drop off is rarely found in 1st overall picks. His play may be poor in his 4 games this year but he is clearly being targeted as the whipping boy here.
