Bpa all day long. If it happens to be a c, great. If it is a winger or d, you go that route. Doesn’t matter lh or rh shot. Whoever is best on your list.
Look at 2018. You don’t think Montreal kicks themselves for passing on Brady Tkachuk? And Arizona/utah for picking Hayton over Quinn Hughes?
Won’t be as pronounced at 18oa but point being don’t get myopic based on current need and draft the best C on the board if there are better wingers or d available. Brady Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes would fetch you a good C in any trade if that’s the need down the line.
NFL draft allows you to draft based on need/position. NHL draft does not.
