Amirov was also a kind of player we needed in the pool. Well done by Dubas.
I never really bought the rumors that Dubas was interested in drafting Perrault.
I don't think we "need him" but if he turns into that Kuznetsov piece who comes over a few years after to reinforce the pre-existing core that will be an amazing addition. Realistically, if he comes over in 2 years that will be about Year 5 of Tavares, so you'll have an overlap between his ELC years and the last few years of Tavares' contract. You'll have one guy on the downside of his career, and possibly a high end talent to plug in and maybe replace him.
