There is no downside to having too many centres in the organization

Hockey fans are funny. I know many mean well, but there is this strange naiveté where they assume every prospect is going to make it and every player is the best at what they do on their favourite team.

Vancouver Canucks fans are no exception. And when you are a team that has drafted as well as they have, we tend to get hyper-inflated assessments of the future. Bo Horvat has established himself as a number one centre in this league (albeit on the low end of spectrum).

However, we already have people assuming that Elias Pettersson will step into the league next season and look like the 2009-10 version of Henrik Sedin.
