I half way agree. What I've wanted us to draft and develop for the longest time is a scoring line power center. Think Getzlaf, Kessler, Toews, Johansen, Scheifele, etc. These are the types of guys who are absolutely invaluable in the playoffs because they are puck possession hogs and create havoc for the other team to account for and as a result create space to manufacture offense. The closest thing we've had to that was Howden and he was dealt off, management is allergic to these types of players for some reason, but they'd be such a boon for us.
It's shocking to me that the two player types that would benefit us the most, RHD and a large scoring C, we have done an underwhelming job of trying to acquire.
