In my experience, drafting the BPA means not taking position or organizational needs into consideration, and just taking the best prospect, be it centre, wing, defenseman, or goalie.

You seem to be mixing BPA with 'most NHL ready', which refers to a guy's current talent and physical level, not his overall projection as a prospect.
