Meier
4th round pick '23


Knies
1st round pick '24
2nd in '25
Kerfoot


I think this is close and benefits both teams.

Sharks should take this and run for the hills. Omg.

No way should we go two years in a row without a 1st round pick. I'm only considering this if I’m Toronto if it involves a top pairing defensemen.

HUGE difference between Knies and Verboon.

Knies is a 20-year-old playing in one of the top two college hockey leagues in the country - and has dominated since he's stepped on campus. He was taken in the 2nd round of the NHL Draft; after dominating in the USHL for two seasons and TWICE being selected to the USA U20 team.

Verboon is having a nice season as a senior after a mediocre college career, playing in one of the weaker leagues in college hockey and turns 23 tomorrow.

Similarly, calling Beniers' college career "lackluster" shows a lack of understanding when it comes to college hockey. In two seasons he was one of his team's leading scorers on a Wolverines team that reached the Frozen Four. He was +50! Oh, and was also one of the youngest players on a gold medal World Junior team.

If Knies is Beniers he's quite a player.

One of his teams leading scorers may sound nice but there's many of those. Every season. And how many make it to the NHL? How many PPG college guys make it to the NHL? Not many. PPG in college isn't promising. Rarely ever do you get players like Beniers able to score at almost the same pace at NHL level.
