I'd be shocked if they finished with a top 5 pick. That being said the team needs more depth in the prospect pool at C and RD. We only have Mailloux and Jiricek, which means we have no idea what we have to solve for our aging RD. If we have a long jam of RD's, I've heard that they are expensive to trade for so we could get something nice back if they all hit.
I like Dvosrky but you can't know really what he will develop into. Who is the next prospect that looks like he could be a 2C in our pipeline? Heck do we have a legitimate 3C in the pipeline?
Behind Dvorsky; we have Stancl, Korotky and Jecho.
Stancl looks every bit the part of a developing 3rd line center.
Korotky is doing extremely well in the KHL; but who knows how that translates anymore(not to mention it's difficult to get a read on his overall game with the current situation).
Jecho is still inconsistent offensively but has NHL caliber tools.
And there's still Dean to consider once/if he comes back from rehab.
Definitely not the strong point of our system, but not exactly "empty" either. Still, it's the first place I'm looking to upgrade if I had a choice.
