Sure but do you reach for an LHD if there isn't a suitable one available? I'd say in the NHL it's take the best player available, always. You don't really know what your lineup is going to look like in 2-5 years when that player is ready to step in so reaching for a current positional need is almost never a good plan.
If there is a top LHD available at 13 then sure take him, but don't plan to take the best available LHD because then you could potentially be missing out on other great players.
