But, I have been very wrong before.
IMO if we do draft Verhoeff, we should probably see if someone will trade us a centre for Parekh or Brzu. Great concept to hold all 3 but impractical, especially as we will have holes elsewhere, and eventually they will hopefully all need to be paid too much.

Is there a natural player comp you see for him? In the like 4 viewings I've had of him the size and the shot give me Chychrun vibes but that also might just be me being lazy.
Total aside but Chychrun was an interesting one in his draft from what I remember because he started the year high and then got kinda over scouted imo. Everybody so concerned with what he didn't do that they forgot about all the good parts of his game. That was a sick draft but wild seeing some of the guys picked ahead of him.
I agree with that, makes sense to deal from a surplus, champagne problems though, especially when we sign Makar in a couple years...
