Your assertion was they are a new "mix" away from turning the corner. Let's just say they get a competent goalie in the offseason and Chabot turns into a bona fide No.1. As talented as that forward group is, is Stutzle on par with MacKinnon, McDavid or Crosby or even a Jack Hughes?
Or to simplify, is Stutzle a No.1 centre on a legit contender as you see it?

Is Stutzle a No. 1C on a legit contender? That’s kind of a guess, at best. Who is he surrounded with in this scenario? Could he be the 1C on the Bruins, yeah, I bet he could.
Again, he’s just turned 22 and you probably don’t need to look too hard to find other 1C’s who have had similar ups and downs for their first few years in the league. Draisatl wasn’t showing his dominance until 23. Pettersson’s point total high at that age was 68.
