That's a tough one. You can make an argument for all of Verhoeff, Reid, and Lawrence.
Went with Reid, because I think he has the highest ceiling in the NHL. That said the Flames have a pretty similar player in Parekh. Though I would argue that Reid has the much better reads defensively(no pun intended). If Lawrence had a bit of a better start in the NCAA, I would've went with the C, but he seems like a higher risk/reward player similar to Cayden Lindstrom.
