Thread: Havent posted a mock in a while
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I get the desire from Ottawa fans. It's gonna hurt that they dropped to three/five. But I can't tell if it's group-think or wishful thinking on this site whenever I see Stutzle over Byfield in all the mock drafts. TSN Ottawa media is pumping it hard with their interviews, but I mean.. you gotta admit that's a biased outlet with a clear motive for spreading the information.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I LOOOOVE Stutzle as a prospect. I was hoping the Kings would be in a position to select him after the lottery. But that's because I didn't expect to win #1 or #2. The Kings centers that everyone lists (Vilardi, Turcotte, and Kupari) all have legitimate question marks next to them. Vilardi's health is a toss-up, though I hope he's past his back issues. Turcotte's upside is starting to be questioned. And Kupari, who's main skill has always been his speed, is coming off an ACL injury and hasn't skated since the WJC. None of them have the ceiling that Byfield does, and both Vilardi and Turcotte have experience playing the wing. It makes too much sense, even if he wasn't BPA, which he is. And the Kings have shown to go with the BPA as their drafting strategy for many years now.

Kings are going Byfield.</div></div>

i think both players will be elite but i just dont see Stutzle playing centre and thats my only issue with him. Byfield would be a natural fit for that 1C
