I'd probably trade our first rounder this year for him, but I am sure many posters on here will disagree with me. This years draft isn't that stellar to begin with, and we'll likely be picking in the 3rd-6th spot. I think that sort of pick could be sacrificed for someone like Yakupov. Doubt he'd work that much better here than in Edmonton, but our expectations currently aren't as grandiose as theirs is.
