Yes, but this is Vancouver we're talking about. Based on their drafting Virtanen 6th overall, it's not unreasonable to conclude that hockey IQ is not a priority. They drafted a winger with 2 of their last 3 1st rounders, not crazy to think they wouldn't go for three in four based on their needs (top-line centers, top-pairing defencemen).
