Not to be bombastic or controversial, it's just how I read things. I don't know if Yakemchuk can play in a NHL structure yet.

I kind of agree. But I'm not that high on Yakemchuk in general, while I do believe Jiricek would have been quite a bit higher on lists without the injury. Someone's getting a steal there I think
Yakemchuk is fascinating though ... extremely polarizing. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one defenseman who slips a bit, but then you also have guys banging the table for him. Pronman has him at 3, I believe.
