It's a real shame that some teams finish bottom-5 in years where the BPA isn't necessarily a franchise player, or a prototypical #1 C. As good as he is, if my team had the 4th-overall pick and got 5'10" Lucas Raymond out of it, I would be disappointed (though they made up for it more or less by getting Moritz Seider). It looks like we have multiple firsts in consecutive years where top-tier centers will be available, and it is my hope we take advantage and grab a few of them. If we do, we could be serious contenders in years to come, as you don't win a cup without serious strength down the middle.

I’m still gutted we weren’t able to trade up this summer and grab Hage. He is going to be a top 6 C in 3 years IMO
