The problem with the comparable is Schenn was tearing up the WHL prior to being traded to the Flyers. And then the trade, in essence, "reset" the expectations for him as he became a shiny new toy.
And with the Flyers it can be argued he improved every year until he became a 60 point player.
I think a lot of people didn't think he lived up to expectations, especially as a center, but it's not like he was following Yakupov's trajectory at any point.
