Yes, a lot of fans and media fetishize the idea that pro scouting will occasionally find a player at the border between AHL and NHL, abd elevate him to being an average third line forward.
But that doesn't ****ing matter.
If you want to win, focus on developing your first rounders into top six forwards and top four dmen.
Outside of Price and maybe two years of Weber, our best players are always of the ersatz star variety.
Domi is good but he isn't elite. Gallagher is effective and valuable but sort of Marchand-Lite (but way less of a knob). Drouin has skills but will never fulfill his promise even if he becomes more reliable.
Who was our last forward to make an actual Team Canada? Linden?
