I see a lot of that in terms of the efficient skating, the two-way play, the physicality that he brings, the shot.

I think that you were getting an incredible left-handed defenseman.

The reason that I pushed him lower than Verhoeven-Reed is only because of the right-handed defenseman case.

If they're all close and in the same tier, I think the right-handed defenseman position value will push you up.

And then Chase Reed, 6'2", offensive defenseman with some really good defensive potential in terms of he believes it's an underrated strength of his game.

I talked to him about that too, especially in transition.

And at the world juniors, he looked like USA's best defenseman at times.

So I think that we have to take what his rise has been since playing in the USA channel, only 10 game sample size, but he had zero points and did not look anything like chase Reed.

And then you go to the OHL and you just dominate your last two years there and

So I feel like we're getting some defensemen that have some serious upside even after, you know, they're going top five.

And I don't think we normally see that.

But in the 2024 draft class, you were having players that were defense go that were, you know, sub six feet or six foot.

And I think that with Chase Reed, Verhoff and Carroll's and even Smeets, who's.

One of the most athletic defensemen in this range and very physical played at the Olympics and World Juniors for Latvia and is playing in the DEL.

And in the playoffs, you know, he had two goals, four assists in 11 games when Maureen Sider had five assists in 14 games in the playoffs.

So I think that all four of those guys can have that, you know, very cornerstone defensive player for you.

that you kind of covet in any draft.

So this is a, this is a really good draft.

And you know, the draft rankings for me are so tight because they're all in the same tier, but I'm like, I'm just excited to see where they go.

I think Chase Reed will ultimately be the number one guy, but if Carson Carroll's is, I would not be surprised either.
