Priakin arrived before Makarov, and it's tough to say he was overrated when nobody expected anything from him. The only reason he got to be a name was that he was the first player allowed to go to the NHL by the Soviet authorities. The Soviets weren't going to let the KLM line go without testing the waters first.
