As you can see the NHL has released a list of some of the Top Centers in the league, and despite acquiring Elias Lindholm he hasn't been made a part of the list.
While he's one of the best acquisitions this off-season, it's arguable if he's a 1C as his production hasn't matched any of the players listed here.
Could this be a sign that the Bruins will trade for a 1C next free agency?
In 2025, some of the notable 1C's available will be: Sidney Crosby and Leon Draisaitl.
We recently saw Stan Bowman fumble the Oilers top prospects, as Doug Armstrong made off like a thief in the night.
It seems unlikely that he'll be able to secure Leon Draisaitl long-term when he can't stabilize his own prospects with meaningful contract. Obviously, this is partly Ken Holland's blame to shoulder as well.
But GM Don Sweeney has a chink in the armor of the Oilers, and he should strike now.
