Give me an elite 3C over a fine 2C any day. Then go find that elite 2C.

I don't see us getting and elite 1C,2C, and 3C at the same time. Hell, we have a hard enough time getting 1 at a time.

Should be able find that elite 2C in this draft (say they're a few years away)... then next year the Sedins will finally (frank) off & we can go after a 1C with an offer sheet or in UFA & draft our franchise Dman or Winger. In 3 or 4 years we could have all of that in place & that's a pretty quick rebuild.

Here's to hoping.

I predict we draft a D, re-sign the twins, and offer Bonino big free agent money.

Unfortunately, that's the first sign of an offensively limited player. Whether Don wants to put his pompoms down long enough to realize it or not, Bo's a guy who is VERY valuable as a 3C, and likely detrimental to the team and his top 6 linemates as a 2C. If we want to sacrifice his wingers' potential (and our salary cap) to put him in a spot he doesn't have the skillset for, prepare for a LONG "rebuild" (it'll never end).

To say that he is at his ceiling is asinine.

The fact that Glass got most of his points 5 on 5 is what sells me, and he still has room to grow. Unless hes picked before 5, there should be no reason not to get him

Whatever bro, it's my opinion. If it's your opinion that my opinion is asinine, you're entitled to that.

Do you think his ceiling is 3rd line centre? Has he reached his ceiling?

Also I would die for you to give your opinion, regardless of my opinion.

50 points and an ASG appearance doesn't make you a top 6 forward? This is nonsense, I must say.

His ceiling on a championship roster is elite 3rd line centre, yes. IMO of course

You can tell the future now? Because Bo has improved exponentially every summer since entering the league

"elite 3rd line centre" .... I don't even know what to say to this... BO played just as many minutes as Hank/Sutter this year

Top line Center. If his progress is any indication, and he keeps developing (he's 21 folks). Apparently you have to be drafted first overall to be considered a 1C these days

But he wants to be paid like a 2C.

Who do you find as elite 1C in the league? I got Crosby, Mcdavid, Malkin, Eichel, Mathews, JT. Anyone else?

Bo isn't an elite #1 centre in the league. Yet. I believe he could be.

We have one million more in cap space than Dallas with one less player signed. Bo and Gudbrandson are RFAs and will probably chew up 9 mil of that 17 mil. So we are going to take on a 4.5 mil contract and sign 4 RFAs with the other 4 mil leaving us with 0 cap space for a bottom 3 team

1 more year = -14 million. we can do it!

Bo an elite #1C ? I'd love to be wrong but I don't ever see that happening. If he's a #1C at all it's on a bad team.......like this one.
