He is 20th on the list which seems about right. Whether he is 2nd line on a top contender (which I think is true) or a top line guy on a bubble team (which also can be true) doesn’t change his ranking or perception around the league in my opinion. I don’t think anyone has him as a true franchise type centre and most of the trade suggestions reflect that.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
