We need to be like Chicago in the sense that I feel Sven is going to need to be our third best forward in order for us to be legit contenders, basically our Hossa. I feel Monahan will be better so we're halfway there on the front end.

Overall though, like many others said, I think we're trying to emulate the Boston model. I don't think we'll end up getting a true elite center, but hopefully a Reinhart/Monahan combination can end up our Krejci/Bergeron one day. I have the feeling Gillies is going to be "the man", so if we can add one elite defender I think we'll have a pretty nice group. Maybe they go Ekblad next year and hope they get the second center the year after.
