This may be obvious but I find it troubling they havent drafted a center who could develop into a 3rd line center or 2nd line tweener since Staal. They really need to focus on drafting centers for the next 2 years in 18 and 19 cause there isn't a dynamic center anywhere to be found in the AHL or signed. Guentzel in theory could be that but apparently everyone has him playing wing for the next 6 years so that is troubling. It cant be that hard to draft a 3rd line center.
Linus Olund
Dominik Simon
Nikita Pavlychev
Troy Josephs
Jake Guentzel (Drafted as a C)
Teddy Blueger
Personally, Olund intrigues me quite a bit, he's 20yrs old, has "that" game in him and I really want to see how he does next year in the SHL before he comes over, which I feel he will after this next season.

He had 15pts in 39 SHL games. A bit of a late bloomer.
