I thought this song and dance would stop once Iginla moved on.

Anyway, yes - this team can succeed in the long term without an elite #1, or true #1, or generational, or whatever the phrase de jour is, centre. Whatever the labels used, this team is as deep down the middle now as they have been in a long, long time. And they're set up to remain deep and talented for years to come.
