And if the last 4 years have taught us anything, it's that this team refuses to rebuild - meaning it's unlikely we'll get to draft in the top 10 two years in a row because this team will spend to the cap to ensure they draft between 10th and 14th.
So if we get a gift of a season like this one, where picking in the top 10 is almost unavoidable - we NEED to draft a center.

Sure but if all the potential #1 centres are already drafted then its silly to draft a 2nd or 3rd line centre if higher potential prospects are still sitting there at other positions.
I'm not convinced its unavoidable that we'll draft top 10. If we do draft top 8 I will definitely be hoping that we nab one of the potential franchise centres.
