He could actually become more of a bust than Yakupov, still very early, but the early signs are not good. There would be no way he would be selected 3rd overall with his current season.

Just slightly under William Nylander's stats for his 18 year old season in the AHL. I wouldn't call that terribly underwhelming for an 18 year old in the AHL.
