They're are high IQ guys though, so they'd flourish as long as you have good wingers. Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Lindholm are good wingers, Mangiapane is also coming along OK, and if you add Hall....well that's probably too much cap, but it could work I think if the price is right.
I think that we would have problems with fast teams if we were that slow down the middle, along with Tkachuk, who is not a great skater, and Lucic-who is ok for his size, but not a burner. Also take into account that Strome hasn't developed anything resembling a 200 ft game, he's pure offense, and not just slow, but SLOOOOOW.
