Team needs that elite 1C
Team needs that elite 1C
Vegas was in love with Krebs and Tuch and we were at a disadvantage because of that
But team needs that elite 1C.

Its a failure by Brad, no way around that. These players just don't come around often. You don't even know when the next one will. You have to take advantage of it. Have to.

Super depressing to come up short after the past three months of hanging around it.

We're back to drafting and developing. And none of our center prospects have that kind of pedigree or upside.

We screwed the pooch here, and the cost is another stretch of years where we're looking at 1-2 rounds of playoffs at best.

Going the route of Arizona next year is now the only way to get this thing built right if Gaudreau doesn't re-sign.

Eichel was our chance to give our window a shot in the arm for the next 5 years. Now, unless Mangiapane/Dube/Zary/Pelletier/Coronato have elite top end in them (highly unlikely), we're only going to regress over time as the current group expires and leaves.
