3 quick snipers on one line? Come on...
TT would be a long term solution, but then what are you doing when Dvo is ready to take the wheel but is blocked?
if you're trading for TT, then DVO is likely going the other way.. and then some
BluesTalk has failed to notice that the Blues biggest needs are 2C and RHD, which aligns 100% with our top draft choices in 2023 and 2024. Everyone, including the Blues FO, is acting like our 2023 and 2024 drafts didn't happen. Hmmmmm. Fans should be asking Army why this is.
You are allowed to have more than one good center. It has been done before.

Open your window, and you will hear that our biggest need is a 2C. If we get another Center, it won't be for desert. It will be about time.

A big need of ours not too long ago was LHD and now no one talks about it. Cant fix everything at once. But there are not many teams that have a 2c that blows schenn dramatically out the water. Most teams have the same need.

Yeah we have a solid veteran 2c, A young veteran 1c, and an elite C prospect which is a way better position than most teams.

The difference (and its a good problem) is we have so many top 6 wingers we need a 3rd top 6 center to accommodate them.

Our d moving forward is where we are lacking and our biggest need by far.
