I also think C vs W is a big question for the team in terms of what they focus on.
I think if they trade for a center then the best bet is to break up the top line:
Gaudreau - Hertl - Coleman
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Dube - Monahan - Pelletier
Lucic - Backlund - Lewis
Or if they add a winger then you need to be confident with Monahan and Backlund as your 2 and 3 C going into the playoffs.
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Monahan - Toffoli
Dube - Backlund - Pelletier
Lucic - Ruzicka - Lewis

Hertl has played C and W FWIW. I think he’s better at C, but flexibility is a good thing.
