I’d just let it grow. They aren’t getting destroyed every game even if they aren’t scoring a lot. Keep plugging young guys in. They all need experience more than anything. The draft isn’t going to solve their big problem at center any time soon. Wolf is your goalie. He will determine your window.

I’d address the center problem in the offseason unless they crater in the new year and a trade comes up for Anderson that addresses it. They have way to many defensemen in the organization and zero centers. That needs to be rebalanced.
It doesn't just need a rebalance, we need an elite 1st line center, plus will likely need a second line center, another star winger, and likely at least one elite D-man. At least two of those will basically only come from the draft, chances are great you'll only get them at the top end of the draft, to boot.

What you're describing is basically roll with this and start plugging holes through trades and signings to go upward right now. With Wolf that could make us a playoff team, but not likely a contender. So it would be another failed build for us.
