You can win without them. I would rather have a guy that is 1-2" shorter and 20 lbs lighter but can skate.
Treliving and Burke keep talking about heavy hockey, but if you look at teams like ANA and LA, they have guys that are bigger but can skate.

1. Powerforwards are not obselete, that is an absurd statement. They're ultra rare and thus very valuable
2. Ritchie can skate so I'm not sure what you're on about
3. I'll always prefer a bigger, stronger player if everything else is equal. They are harder to shut down or contain
4. Monahan may combine with Granlund, Backlund or Jankowski to form a pretty good 1-2 punch. We may already be set at centre long term
