Sat and Bik dive into the intrigue at the top of this year’s draft, debating whether Keaton Verheoff or Chase Reid could realistically go first and whether a defense‑first approach might tempt certain teams. They break down which franchises might prioritize a blueliner if they land the top pick, and how organizational needs could reshape the expected order.
