The same idea goes with our own need for a 'top six winger'. We just really need a player to click with either Monahan or Bennett, regardless of whether he's considered an elite talent.
I think that if one of Chaisson, Brouwer or Poirier starts to look like long term fit, the idea that the rebuild is much farther along becomes more palatable.

I think the idea of a 'fit' is crucial. Look at Carl Haggelin. He didn't fit in Anaheim but certainly did in Pittsburg. I'm hoping that Pribyl fits with either the Bennett or Monahan line. Who knows which line Brouwer will suit best.
