Agreed. Monahan + Draisaitl or Bennett solves an organizational problem that has plagued us for 15 years - a complete lack of high-end depth at the centre ice position. Alongside Backlund's strong defensive play on the 3rd line, we'd have our centres in place for a long time. As we've all seen, the centre position is too important and too hard to address unless you draft them high and develop them yourself.
