In fact, he's likely already a top 5 centre.
Not many centres have his combination of scoring and defense.
He's the building block that Florida hopes will win him a cup. You aren't getting him for a guy Calgary would be willing to trade (presumably)because of concerns that he doesn't produce in the playoffs.
If you want that big centre, you'll likely need to get him prior to him starting to put up big points, such as Nolan Patrick. With that comes big risk.
