You don't win in this league without a legit top line C, and agreed the draft is where you find them.
The fact we went as hard after Eichel as we did tell you the team feels like same, and that was with Lindholm having a career year that season.
I always wondered what the deal was with Buffalo that had us come that close if it did get that close, and by the sounds of what Eichel said it was close.
