High end skilled forwards is always a need, no matter how deep of a team you are. You need replacements for players as contracts eventually become a problem.
As of right now the only sure thing high end forwards we have are Monahan and Bennett. Colorado for example this year had Duchene Landeskog O'Reilly MacKinnon and Stastny. Whether Granlund, Gaudreau, Sven or Poirier become good enough to be in the same conversation as those above and we have 4-5 of those guys then we'll be set for the moment. We're not there yet.
