Teams aren't build around wingers or depth at that position. The '89 Flames team was incredible strength down the middle and at D and that's exactly what the Flames will have to again to win. Bennett, Monahan, Backlund, Jankowski/whoever/whoever and Brodie, Giordano, Hamilton, whoever/whoever/whoever. That's going to be the building blocks of our team.
Guys like Jarome Iginla and Brett Hull are two of the best two ever play the games but ask the Flames or Blues how well it worked building around them.

The only team I could come up with that won the Cup in the last 30ish years that wasn't built around centers was the Devils. Unless you consider either Arnott/Gomez a true #1C. But they happened to have the greatest goalie to ever wear pads in net. So that kinda helps
