Perfect draft for Calgary would be taking one of the centres and then Virtanen. addresses two critical prospect depth issues and shifts the focus to building up our back end.

I'd be leery of that simply because developing Dmen takes longer than it does to develop a forward. If we get all these great forward prospects into the pipe without the D to support them, then we run the risk of mirroring the issues up north.
If nothing else, that is one of the main reasons I would want Ekblad this season and get him into the system now and then allow next year to be a focus on those "critical" prospect depth issues on forward.
