I think it's a little silly to say we our #1 centre slot is a hole that we need to fill long term. Even the most pessimistic of posters would think that one of Bennett and Monahan will become ours wouldn't they?

Fair enough. I think it depends on your definition of a number one centre. Do I think Monahan could drive production if Gaudreau was injured? I mean Conroy once put up "number 1 centre" stats, but he was never a legit number 1 in my eyes. I think Monahan is more situated as a number 2 in the West because of his slow first few steps. Doesn't he won't keep growing, he's still young and talented.
Bennett, Id like to see with 15 more pounds and played at centre more before I can say for sure
