They already have Mitts and Drury. IMO, if they can't get an upgrade on Mitts, don't reach for a C just to get one. Go out and get a guy that can put the puck in the net like a Boeser, or a guy that is a known playoff performer like Marchand.

Do not want

I'm just keeping a tab open for every time someone brings up Donato or Boeser. It's basically the same.

Mitts makes both dudes look bad.

I like Laughton, good locker room guy who is sort of a utility man for the bottom six, but he's basically a 4C at this point. Doesn't really move the needle.

What kind of 4C puts up 40 points per season like Laughton has done the past two seasons? He’s a very good 3C.

Isn't he more of an offensive 3C? More Mitts than Compher?

Two-way guy. A lot more jam than Mitts.

Huh? What did I miss?

@Pierce Hawthorne really likes Drury and is happy with him at 3C.

19 or 20 point pace for Drury and struggling Mitts, I’m sorry but we won’t go far with that center depth if Mitts is the 2C and Drury the 3C. We need an upgrade to at least one if not both. Drury is fine as a 4C

Of course we do. He’s the first to break dozens of signings and trades season after season. He’s also proven to be closer to a lot of agents than most other “insiders” are, namely Brisson and Barry.

He gets shit wrong sometimes and goes to hell with some leafs stuff who he’s paid most of his money to report on but when people write things like “Dreger is a hack” or “Seravalli said KK was part of the Rantanen deal” it’s just laughable. Their track records aren’t 100% perfect but these guys clearly know and hear some shit.
I dislike Dreger because I think he does what I said earlier: he talks a lot without actually giving out any info or facts. And not like the other insiders don't do this, but they are very much more clear about what they think could happen, or what is their opinion about something etc. Dreger loves to be a mouthpiece for certain agents too.

Also, I said earlier that Dreger is my least favourite insider. Check that, Seravalli is. He used to be much better at this stuff too. Remember how he got the entire Seattle expansion draft before anyone else? That was his high note, and it has been downhill from there. Not only has his star as an insider gone down, with his own platform he's also able to inject more of his personal opinions on stuff and I find a lot of that just is bad/wrong.

From the regular ones, LeBrun is the best IMO. He's not the most active, but I like the way he does his stuff. Less is more, and detail is better than volume.

We don't need a 3C putting up 40 points when you have Mack and Makar.

And you can't afford a high scoring 3C when you have Mack and Makar.

A defensive, face-off guy is who you want and can afford at 3C, and that's exactly who the Avs have.

Some of ya'll need to be more realistic of the cap.. ya, like give me Mack, Crosby, and McDavid as 3C than I'll finally be happy.

Laughton returning a 1st potentially? I mean in this market, you havs to send Colton's ass out immediately (to NJ) and recoup assets to send a more competitive offer for Nelson.

Today's EDM/NJ trade was also pretty embarrasing for Seravalli LMAO. First Frank tweets out it's Max Jones going to Edmonton, and a minute later Friedman (and the rest of the insiders) tweets out it's Frederic.

That’s maybe true for the regular season, but in the playoffs you do need more depth scoring from forwards when you going against deep teams, and scoring becomes harder.

If lets say we’re going against Dallas or Vegas, they shutdown or limit MacK and Makar, and then we have a struggling 2C like Mitts and a 4th line center playing 3C, we likely losing the series
