He and his agent Larionov are whiny though. Last year Yakupov was cut from Russia world champ roster and Russian coach said that it was because of an injury. Both Yakupov and Larionov went to media saying that injury is fake and coach just didn't want him on the team. Larionov added that Yakupov "is an NHL player and should have been treated better".
