Given that he's a better player than any forward on about 20 teams in the NHL I'd think the general answer is "yes".
I don't know that I agree that you
need an elite center to win the Cup. I'd argue Boston did it in 2011 and came close last year. I'd agree that it is a very helpful thing to have and would probably bring the Leafs closer to contender status - the Ducks' reliance on Getzlaf and Perry hasn't hurt them. But there are plenty of other issues with the Leafs, obviously.
