Any chance Raul gets drafted this year? Haven't seen him play, but MHL stats are looking pretty good this season.

I would guess the answer to that question is if Yakupov is willing to come over to NA

Now in the KHL. One assist and -5 in 12 games, averaging five minutes of ice time for Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik.

Smells like a Kekäläinen pick, if not in the 1st round, 100% in the 2nd round.

Was he ever this highly regarded? Or only by this guy?

Wow, nice shot, it rocketed very fast from his blade to the net.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Wouldn't surprise if he was drafted this year.
I know that was in the VHL not in the KHL but still.

Raul has developed nicely past 2 years or so.

I feel like you say that every year yet it hasn’t come to fruition yet. What’s holding him back?
