They have a choice to draft a C (Laurence, Bjorck, Malhotra) or Verhoeff. SJS has already stated they would trade Misa for Verhoeff. If you're the Flames, do you take Verhoeff and flip him for Misa, or take one of the available Cs, or take Verhoeff and keep him?

With Luke Misa suddenly turning his season around, maybe I would consider drafting Verhoeff and trading him to SJ for his younger brother, and then drafting the Ruck twins this draft as well. Boy would it make John Abbott comletely tongue-tied doing the play-by-play, and Kelly Hrudey would completely shut-down!
In all seriousness, I would probably trade Verhoeff for Misa, but I still have a slight worry about drafting defencemen so high, even if they look fantastic. That's just me, however.
I am not sure that San Jose would really want to (or the Flames would either). Misa is looking like the 2nd line center of San Jose, as I believe Smith is often playing alongside Celebrini right now, IIRC? Misa is playing on the 3rd line playing more sheltered, with Wennberg being the place holder on the 2nd line taking more tougher minutes.
I don't see it happening by either team, but i would probably do a Verhoeff - Misa trade.
