Drafted and developed by 1 team so hard to include zibanejad. Hertl is good but really not a for sure first line center. We trade monahan for hertl and we still aren’t a playoff team.
Of course there are players taken late in the first or beyond that become stars but if you want a top franchise center you more than likely need to draft it early as all teams want the same thing and those players and top d men go early every year
