If we're drafting top 5-6 then I say yes, force a centre this year. Otherwise it still makes sense to draft the best player available. No point turning down a top pairing defencemen to force drafting a 2nd/3rd line centre. Don't get me wrong I'm desperately hoping like every year that we finally find our franchise centre. But you can't ignore the other positions if we're drafting outside the top 5. We need to get the best asset available.

If we got a 2nd line centre in the middle of the first round, that would be huge. I just can't stand the thought of drafting another winger.
