Yet every year, the top teams in the league are loaded up the middle, be it scoring centres, playmaking centres, or defensive centres.
I want all 3 first rounders to be centremen. Monahan/Lindholm first pick, Compher/Lazar/Wennberg second pick, Petan/Dauphin/De la rose third pick. Horvat or Domi would be nice with the second pick but they are likely long gone.
You can always move centremen to the wing, if you have the hockey iq to play centre, you can easily convert to the wing. Wingers have a hard time converting to the centre position as we've seen.

Of course, the Flames will end up picking BPA from their list ...but if it ends up being 3 Cs as you've written here, I will be very excited as surely ONE of them will turn out to be a true #1 C
