Nail Yakupov can be amazing
Nail Yakupov was selected first overall in the 2012 draft. He has yet to prove the Oilers' management was right to pick him first. with only 88 points in 192 games, Yakupov is far away from what the Oilers were expecting.
He plays like someone who doesn't know what to do on the ice, he turns the puck over often, does not make the right decisions with the puck and clearly needs to find his confidence back.
In this 10 mins video, you can see Nail Yakupov's highlight from his junior career, making people wonder if the Yakupov playing for the Oilers is the same player that the one seen in the video.
Please, if someone know Yakupov personally, show him this video and remind him that he can have a major impact on an NHL game.
