"Recapping the draft, the Edmonton Journal’s Jonathan Willis said that Yakupov “was, according to virtually every scouting service out there, the best player available at this year’s draft.” Sure, Corey Pronman said#at Hockey Prospectus#prior to the draft that he questioned the infallible logic that Yakupov was an easy number one, but even he put Yakupov at number one in the end."
