That and you count on improved production from the rest of your top 6 to close that gap. With Eichel stabilizing the top line, you hope that he & Johnny gel nicely and it causes Johnny's numbers to rise, and also takes some pressure off Lindy's shoulders and lets him settle in at the #2 center position and really thrive in that role.
But again, no way I give up a first AND one of our top prospects to get Eichel.

For a Number 1 Centre, you do.
