You brought it up. I'd take Barkov #1 in a redraft of 2013. Monahan is a #1 centre but I think Barkov can be even more elite and dominating. He's huge, strong with a ridiculous reach and he's got Jagr teaching him how to shield the puck. He's got crazy skill there too. I think in his prime he will be one of the hardest centres to shut down in the entire league. I really, really wanted him in 2013 and everything I've seen since then has only reaffirmed that. Panthers future is bright, just as the Flames is.
