This team refuses to build around a big elite centre. Like Eichel.
I mock Feaster all the time, but when he offered all three 1st round picks for Nathan MacKinnon, he wasn’t wrong. His problem was not going far enough.
Three 1sts, One of Backlund/Brodie, and Baertschi, (who was hyped coming off a 2 PPG season in the Dub) for 1st overall. And I’d have been prepared to add more - the Sam Bennett 4th overall pick is a small price to pay for getting to watch Johnny Hockey play with Nathan MacKinnon for the last seven years instead of Sean Monahan.

Well sure. But maybe what he should have done was approach Fla for the 2OA. Of course, at the time, Barkov, Lindholm and Monahan were ranked pretty closely as the next best Cs.
