Nope. With all due respect to Langkow (who I was a big fan of when he played in here), I want a guy that can put up big numbers and get as close as possible to being a franchise guy. I want a true all star. To me that's what high picks in the first round should be targeting. The other skill sets you can fill in from elsewhere. True elite offensive talent is harder to come by.
If there is a clear answer on who (Lindholm or Monohan) has the higher ceiling on offensive production, I take the point producer every day of the week.
