Yes but as long a top centerman is a position of need and the team isn't picking top 5 you pretty well have to keep taking guys like this and hope that one of them pans out into a 1st line center. Even if Nemisz turns into a solid 3rd line player that's one less position to fill from free agency.
From what I have read Zibanejad sounds more like a 2-way center so if he slips to the Flames I'm not sure if he would be a better pick than McNeil.
