Players that don't get penalty minutes are not power forwards, I don't care what size they are.
We spent 16 seasons trying to get top-line quality skill to play with Iginla. Well, (I think) we have it in Monahan and Gaudreau. Now we just need to get them an Iginla to play with.  |
I would hope that they aren't drafting to just find a winger for Monahan and Gaudreau. Take the BPA and if thats not the guy to complement those 2 then the onus is on the GM to find the guy via trade or free agency.
