The idea you can trade wingers for a center isn't realistic. Centers are just DAMN hard to get.

This is why I hate the 'just take the BPA' argument. The Flames have been doing that for 40 years, and the result is that we are ALWAYS thin at C.
Centers are taken early because - wait for it - they are a scarce commodity. If you sit around hoping the C will fall to you as the BPA, you will never get one.
The Flames should be drafting 4 Cs with their first 4 picks this year. Three at a minimum (if someone crazy falls into their lap for one of the picks)
