If I'm Treliving I'm using Gaudreau in a key piece to either get a #1C or an upcoming #1C (younger) or another Monahan type 1/2.
Oh and Kadri is exactly what we need and should get asap while Toronto is disgusted with him. Kadri and Tkachuk would be a disturbing duo, the London boys...

Rhett Warrener had an interesting point this morning on the radio about a number 1 center. They drafted Bennett to become that guy and he has not performed. Rhett made the point that Bennett should be talked about as wanting a $5-$8M contract this summer, not MAYBE $3M. If Bennett had performed all the time like he did in the playoffs then Monahan would probably be the number 2 guy by now. Bennett is a gritty player now but the team development turned when he didn't work out as a top line center.
I thought the point was well communicated.
