That's what you'd think, but they keep screwing up. They need defencemen, not a center. If they do take him, they're going to need to pull off some trades to bring in a couple of decent blue-liners. I think Eberle and Yakupov will have to get dealt.
As for the comeback, that's one of the things I love about the tourney. In the NHL, a 5-1 lead and the team would go into lockdown mode. But these are kids, and their emotions can get the better of them.
