Question 1: If you went and posed this hypothetical to Minnesota about choosing between Parise and Suter, I think they would have taken Suter, and so would I. Those kind of elite defenders make the difference between a playoff team or not, and a Stanley cup contender or 1st round fodder.
Question 2: Draft the forward, specifically a centre, because the draft is the main way the overwhelming majority of Stanley cup teams find their #1 Cs. They develop earlier, seem easier to project, and rarely become available as free agents.
