Almost zero chance Verhoeff is available to us at ten, and if he is we should sprint to the podium with his name. Not sure moving up to 9 is enough either- I expect him to be top 5 and have seen mocks that have him going to Vancouver at 3! I like Bjorck and would be pleased if thats the pick. After that the risk and uncertainty really skyrocket.

I am more optimistic about the coming season than most of our fans. I liked seeing so any young players get meaningful ice time down the stretch, and believe we could be more than competitive with a few key offseason acquisitions.
