I sure hope they wouldn't.
I don't think "drafting for need" really makes a difference for forwards, especially centers. You can always move extra centers to wing. But you can't move a defenseman to RW.

If BPA is still the consensus, do people think drafting for need has at least become more of a consideration? Or am I in the minority in thinking that?

(I mean, obviously you're not going to go way out JUST to draft for need. But I do think it's much more of an issue.)
