If Verhoeff meets or beats his physical projections, combined with a reputed small mean streak and his skill/mental attributes, even if he never wins a Norris he would be a key player to have when the team contends again. Physically Ekblad-lite (Ekblad was a physical stud when he was drafted) with more skill?

Dynamic offensive forwards don't grow on trees, but if scouts think Verhoeff can be something of a blueline unicorn, then it's a no-brainer.
