Sure, and if they do end up sucking next year or the year after, Reinhart, Nylander and McDavid would all look good with a Flaming C on their jersey. Or maybe their other 2 first round picks end up being centers and exceed expectations.
But I think it's more important to get a corner block with the 6th* overall pick, regardless of position, than trying to force the issue by picking a center. I mean, can we really complain if they get a great defenseman or winger? They'll need them anyways. And could you imagine if they were in the position to draft the next Kane (let's say less ######y) and end up picking a Turris?
However, I do hope it's a bit moot and they do believe the BPA is someone like Lindholm or Monahan but I wont condemn them until the players actually develop.
