If you look at the list of #1 centers that how won the cup since the lockout you can even go further back but outside of Eichel and O’Reilly they have all won on the team that drafted them and most have never left.
It’s the most important position to win and it’s the hardest to find and teams who them aren’t trading them. We just traded for Frost and have Zary. Going out and getting another middle 6 forward isn’t what this team needs they need to move guys out and get picks.
The amateur scouts have done a great job so giving them more chances of finding our guy is the best bet to get the player we need. We have to realize we are going to have to draft the player.
That’s why the Cozens talk is silly he’s not good and is going to be moved the wing.
There are some names on the list that got taken later on and later rounds. Point, Bergeron, O’Reilly, Kopitar, Datsuyk. That’s a pretty good list of elite #1C taken outside of the top 10. Keep your picks, add more picks, make your picks and maybe we find our guy to add to the list.
