Projecting NHL team fit for a prospect in his draft year is like trying to determine whether a souffle is going to turn out without giving in to temptation of opening the oven.

As a rule, teams shouldn't necessarily draft for need early on in their selections; taking the best overall player available will garner the best results.
But at the same time, there's no denying that certain NHL prospect pools could do with one thing or another.
