They have lots of good depth pieces but no gamebreakers so far except Wolf and possibly Parekh.
That's true. But since it is being propped up, bottom 3 this season is pretty much out of reach and we don't need to waste energy worrying about it. Next season I foresee a younger and less experienced roster losing more games, and not starting the schedule 4-0-1.

Well maybe try reading his words again. He's pretty clear in what he's saying.
The team is good, 3 good goalies, Maybe TOO MUCH depth on defense coming up and we need to plug the biggest deficiencies in free agency.

I’d resign Anderson if he wants to stay.
The team has too much talent to be picking in the top 3. I think unless they get lucky the biggest deficiency center is going to have to be addressed via their cap space in free agency or a trade. Trade route would be harder. Who’s going to trade you a player like that?

They also have some good young forwards. What they don’t have is centers. The ones we have are aging out. You are not going to find 2 or 3 impact centers via the draft. It would more than likely take too long. The draft is such a crapshoot the odds are against you as it is.
My guess is that will be an established center in free agency.
