Building a contender through the draft is all about hitting a home run on picks after the first. I think this is one of those situations. If you just traded a 4th rounder for a potential 2nd line center (who is big and can take face offs), that is a home run.

I am hoping desperately that Monahan falls to the flames. Having a pair of centers that are really good faceoffs is a step in the right direction (watching Bergeron go 85% in the dot yesterday was a thing of beauty).
If we can get Monahan (6'2) with Knight (6'2), and I'm still a big fan of Backlund... that is a great start of building a foundation.
