I think if we won the lotto it has to be Yakupov. I definitely wouldn't be upset with Grigorenko, both players have elite potential, but Yakupov just has that something extra I don't see in Grigorenko. Girgorenko is a lot like Malkin but lacks that fluid skating, Yakupov has that elite skating that I think brings him closer to being a sure bet to be able to put up triple digits in the NHL.
Unless something changes between now and the draft I think whoever picks first is all but guaranteed to pick Yakupov. I know everyone wants that big centre to build around but I think even Eller or Pleks would look that much better next to a guy like Nail.
