But our c depth in terms of both the nhl level and the prospect pool is the dogs breakfast. We have a glaring need to get a elite skilled center into the system and this could be our only/best opportunity to do so. If you're wondering why i saw only/best it's because i'm a big believer in dustin wolf... All he's done every step of the way to the nhl is put up video game numbers, collect trophies, and be a beast in net... Once he's a fully formed nhl'er i expect he'll do the same which is a great thing for us to have but that still leaves us short on a essential ingrediant for a championship calibre team (the elite c) without a realistic means of acquiring it because those guys aren't often available outside the top of the draft.

100%.
