I think your looking into this a little too much. Any team adding a consistent 55-65pt center for the past 7 years is not going to be in a worse spot.
The thing with talented players is that they learn to play with other talented players. Frolik, Brouwer and Bennett at this point in their careers are not top6 players and I'm all for adding talent to push those guys down to a spot where they can be properly utilized.
