If you are adding another center that is better than either one, then you are really cooking. That's why I advocated for signing Tavares when he was UFA. Not that he would have, obviously.
Also, Vegas hasn't won anything yet other than a few playoff rounds. One could argue that they have actually regressed since their inaugural season. We will see how they fare this season minus Stastny before we start anointing them as some kind of great team. I'd say they are a top 10 team in the league right now. Big deal.

Of course you trade one of them for an upgrade, but the upgrade doesn't necessarily have to be at center for this to work, due to the fact that we have options internally to replace either one.
And if either Bennett or Dube can establish themselves as middle six centres, you can move a center for a true RW.
