Yeah we do. I know you feel wingers are dime a dozen and defensemen are much more valuable and there's merit to that but the Penguins have won back to back Stanley Cups based on a deep forward group and very mediocre group of defensemen. There is 0.00001% chance a team will ever win a Stanley Cup with Ferland as your top line RW and based on him being nearly invisible against the Ducks I'm not sure you can win even a playoff series. You can move up Tkachuk but I don't know if he's a great fit for that line as he's not really a burner and neither is Monahan making the line a bit too plodding. Team really needs a scoring threat on the other side of Monahan to open up space for Gaudreau as I don't know if he's going to get back to where he was two seasons ago as long as teams can ignore the other winger on that line.
