Does your computation take into account that Vancouver or Toronto can't
get the first pick?

Yes it is lunacy that Walker is playing center. Your point is well taken
that he can get hurt there. Especially against the physical centers. Why
doesn't ML just suck it up and start Zabo or Conlon. Put Walker back at
his forward posistion and let him develop there.
