So we end up with 10 centers for 4 spots and we end up 13 dmen for 6 spots. Most of the dmen under 30 that we expect to become NHLers (especially the waiver fodder we currently have on the big club for dmen 5-7) are there because we lack depth on defence. Part of the reason we do not have waiver fodder at center is because we have depth. But on a pure math basis under your criteria we have more depth at center than we do on defence.

Do you honestly think there is an NHL centerman on that list (other than maybe Zary)? I think Pospisil is only a winger, at the NHL level.
There are 5 NHL Dmen on that list, and several really good prospects. In fact, every one of those defenseman is a possible (or actual) NHLer. But on C, there isn't a single prospect that is even close to Morin or Brzustewicz.
