I'm advocating for adding a center, with a definition of "a center" ranging between Namestnikov and Hertl. This is a radical enough idea to be described as "willful ignorance", "whining", "dumb", illogical, and driven by emotion?The willful ignorance is recognizing that this teams downfall is defense and goaltending and saying "oh well what can you do" while whining about how not upgrading the offense is a miss. The team is third in the league in goals per game. You can surely see how dumb that is from a logical perspective. Diminishing returns is a real theory and you're going balls to wall against it. If you're serious about actually fixing the issues and making a Cup you'd be talking about bringing in a defenseman or goaltender to improve the teams weakness, not bringing in a center because it feels nice.
From what I see, the center between Fiala and Boldy is the softest spot on the roster and the easiest to upgrade. If there's a goalie available that would be an upgrade on Talbot I'm not against that either, but that hasn't seemed likely (though I admit I haven't really looked in the past few weeks).
