(VIDEO) Is he a draft bust?

According to Marcy Di Michele from TheHockeyWriters, hockey is a game of narratives and one of the most common narratives floating around the league is the assertion that Russian-born players don’t really want to be in North America, and they will bolt for their homeland when they get the chance. Having said that, she is questioning if Nail Yakupov, first overall pick of the 2012 NHL draft, is a draft bust or not. Marcy Di Michele is saying that Nail Yakupov is a good player, stuck on a horrible team and he has to learn how to play defense. Will Yakupov join players like Ilya Kovalchuk, Alexander Radulov and Alexander Burmistrov in the KHL or join players like Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin as the best Russian NHL players? Let us know what you think about it!
