Spoken like a wounded Habs fan that has accepted 40 years of woefully awful offensive players.
We need to stop forgiving them for drafting players with limited offensive potential.
How has the Florida Panthers acquired Reinhart, Tkachuk, Verhaeghe, Bennett and Rodrigues ?
Respectively their 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th best scorer at Forward.
I do agree with you tho that we need and want offensive superstar.
The 5th OV may or may not be the solution to this problem.
But in my opinion, we should approach the selection with the mentality of selecting the player with the most upside(BPA.). It may not be a Forward. Narrowing the field to forward only at 5OV may lead us to a massive blunder. Drafting a top pair dman with that pick will also open other possibility to acquire that offensive talent.
