Elisas is a good center, but le'd not kid ourselves, he was not a line driver nor a player that could not have been easily replaced.

His stats over the last four years, not just with Gaudreau and Tkachuk, say otherwise.
League leading two-way center. Won't produce as much next season, but saying his defensive abilities and therefore him as a player can be easily replaced is, as I said, ignorant nonsense.
I'm not sure what super limited viewing experience you'd have to have to come to that conclusion. Neither the stats nor the eye test back your conclusion. But keep on keeping on.
