I agree that concerns about Verhoeff’s skating are overblown- he looked just fine in the last game that was on TV.
Comparing him to Schaefer is hard, because they play slightly different styles, but Schaefer looks now to be headed to a tier of defenseman that right now only includes Cale Makar- he’s going to be that good. KV is going to be a tier or two below that (agreed completely with sureLoss) but could still be a top-pairing, frachise-type D.
