If the Flames end up drafting third.
McKenna and Stenberg have been drafted one and two.
Up next is Verhoeff as the most reported third best player.
Do the Flames bypass him and draft Lawrence?
If you cannot trade for a center and you need to draft them, and you already have a good stock of defense prospects, do you bypass a highly rated defense prospect and make sure that you are adding another center to your prospect pool?

When I think of forcing a top pick based on position I keep thinking about the Habs taking Kotkaniemi 3rd when Brady Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes were still on the board and the Habs fans in the stands looking utterly shocked at the decision.
