Yeah and on one hand I'm of the mind that you take BPA, but increasingly, I think it is important to have strength on D and C.
So when I look at the top end of the draft I see a number of centres (Celebrini, Lindstrom, Helenius (though not sure if he will be a C at the NHL level), Catton and then a bevy of dmen.
So in my mind, I'd like to see them come out with a D or a C, and not a winger. A future #1 D and #1 C are clear needs. And the org should be able to add someone with potential to be either in this draft with a high pick.
