I guess it depends. If others are phoning us asking for our forwards, that's good but if we are phoning them asking for their defencemen that's not so good. I'd prefer a balance so we weren't put into a position of need or weakness myself.
Right now everyone seems to be goo goo over getting centres and this may be reflected in their draft rankings. This could lead to an excess of talented centres/forwards league wide and a scarcity of good defencemen. In this case the defenceman would be more valuable. Maybe the really best player available is the defenceman and he's also what we need.
