You can find defence a lot easier than you can find centres.
Vancouver has 99 point centre under contract for 7 years, which is certainly more valuable that a 24-32nd year overall pick plus cap dumps and the third best prospect in another organization.
This is the NHL - you have to try. You can’t just tank until you end up with McDavid and Draisaitl.
