Anyone that knows me will understand my view on Yahupov. In my opinion, Yakupov will be the next elite Superstar from the OHL. Love this Kid. I can barely wait until next season when Yakupov and fellow countryman continue to dominate the OHL.Nail is the OHLs most electrfying player (maybe even in the entire CHL)

Yakupov will also represent Team Russia's U-18 in the IIHF U-18 World Championship. Yakupov will serve as an assistant captain

Furthermore, the OHL has named the 2010-11 First and Second All-Rookie Teams

The OHL All-Rookie Teams were also selected by the OHL’s General Managers.* Players were voted on by position and received five points for a first place vote, three for a second place vote, and one for a third.
