You're going to have to point on which right handed center the Flames picked ended up playing on the RW for the club, because I don't see one. It's weird, but you would think a team would clue in that if you want to find RWers you should be drafting guys that play RW? Probably why you draft defensemen to play defense more so than drafting centers with the hope they can shift to the blueline. Just pointing out the obvious.

Hunter Smith was from the last draft? Could have fooled me.
WRT centres, no, they didn’t pan out. But the point is they probably thought they had a shot at RW when they drafted them. Just like Reinhart, Lindholm, et al.
