Yep, that's where I'm at. I'm not worried about the team overall, we're a contender. But eventually a contender needs to have an elite top line.
That may come with time between Huberdeau/Lindholm/Toffoli or it might not. To me I see signs that the players fundamentally aren't the greatest fit at 5 on 5. But they could also work hard on it and practice and become an elite first line. That's my hope, as that allows to have a deadly second line with Kadri.
My point is just that aesthetically I see a natural fit between Kadri and Huberdeaus skill sets that may be required to form that needed elite first line.
But we got time and a good team, so no rush or panic needed.
