I do hope for a center though - you can't rely on teams giving up a Thornton.

But they did happen, didn't they?
Thornton to San Jose, LA picked up 2 in Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, Colorado has 3 (just saying 3 cause many here seem to think the 3rd, ROR, is a No 1 C)....
Brodie is not a No 1 D... I think he can be top pairing, but not No 1 D. I'm talking Chris Pronger, Lidstrom, Scott Niedermayer class. There are only every 5-10 of them in the league... of coarse Pronger got traded a ton of times too.
Again, numbers still haven't convinced me that unless there really is a split, why any team should ever deviate from drafting BPA to draft for position. Unless its a goalie.
