If Scheifele is available, you go and get him. Excluding this season, he was a PPG center for 6 straight seasons ('16-'21). If we acquired him for Monahan + Zary + 1st + something else I think we have a good shot of doing some damage with him, Lindholm, and Backlund as our 3 center duo.
Those that are wanting defense out of him, I can understand that. But, I think with Lindholm and Backlund here Scheifele can get the bulk of the offensive zone starts and work his magic. I think he'd be a great grab if possible.
