I don't see "top" potential in Yakupov, I think a lot of you are tantalized with #1 overall pick status. I don't really understand your drafting analogy, the fact of the matter is the drafting you pick the BPA. Typically, a trade is to pick-up a position of need not value.
A team like Montreal should be all over this.. not Toronto. We don't need to re-furbish this kinda asset for the purpose of flipping it.
But if you are getting a steal of a deal you do it regardless of need. If Toronto declines and Montreal offers a 3rd for him then Montreal cost better (meaning Toronto got worse) when for a 4th and Corrado we could have prevented that. If we were giving up Corrado and a 2nd then yes we decline, even if we thought the risk was worth it the need isn't there. In this case though it works.
