I don't think so.
Staal is a great player, but for a 1st line centre, he'd be pretty weak.
And I don't think a 2nd line centre - even a great one - is worth a first overall like Yakupov.

Is there another player in the league that is more over-valued than Jordan Staal? I would like to see him.
Interesting basic stats:
- Final year of Junior in the OHL: 68 points in 68 games
- Never scored over 50 points in the NHL- now 6 years in
- Best point/game average: 0.81 this year with Crosby gone for the majority of the season.
I don't get it. He is big and a centre. We get that much but he has never shown himself to have a scoring touch which I would want if I am giving up a Number One pick.
