Jamie Benn is possibly the most overrated player in hf history...
He's a 23 year old who just scored 60 points for the first time and people are saying there's no way he's traded for the #1 overall pick, the 19 year old scoring at over a point per game in the best active hockey league in the World. Yakupov has as many points as Ovechkin (the guy whose career low, 20 points lower than his next worse season, is still higher than Benn's career high) in one less game so far this KHL season. Now I'm not saying Yakupov = Ovechkin, I'm just putting things in perspective. Jamie Benn is scoring at roughly the same rate, only in the DEL in Germany, the 7th best league in Europe.
30/30 GMs would take Yakupov over Benn, guaranteed. Benn is a good player, don't get me wrong, but his value is not on the level of Nail Yakupov.
