Out of curiosity, don't you think that Boston would be better off spending down the middle? I understand that Poitras, Zacha, and Coyle, are all levels of good, but Boston still has a clear need for a top-line center. Does Guentzel (I've also seen Meier) really help you improve as a roster when you have middle-six guys centering him? I think that that has been Boston's biggest flaw over the past few years when they have struggled to win in the playoffs.

definitely agree, the glairing need is for a true top line center. just not sure at the moment they have trade chips for it and there is no one on the UFA market that would fill the void, so the possible pivot is to get some higher scoring wingers to make up the offence and hope the centers (Zacha/Coyle) can maintain in and around their production from this year.
