Who is the most hyped Russian prospect of the last 20 years ?

People are definitely looking back and using hindsight because he ended up sucking, but Yakapov is the easy answer here. He was getting called a mini Ovechkin.. especially after his draft -1 season where he went off in Sarnia

The overrating of Yakupov's hype is only rivaled by Daigle's.

One could feel the lack of confidence from the scouts when comparing Yakupov to Bure or whoever.
