I keep ALMOST jumping on board, and then you say something completely off base.
There are more good young 21 year old centres available than PPG 22 year old wingers?
Maybe... but how many are available? Do you know why they aren't available? Because they are crucial and incredibly hard to come by. Top wingers get traded more often (and seem to be in more rumours) than top centres.
And don't go saying we could just replace Monahan with Bennett. We don't even know if Bennett is any good yet.
I still can't figure out if you're just ridiculously overrating Gaudreau or criminally understating Monahan and the centre position in general. Honestly, it might be both, and that's a lot of things to be way off about.
