100%. I really like Beniers but the kid has to improve considerably to become a true 1C. He can do it for sure but needs to put on some muscle, become stronger on his feet, start winning more board battles. The potential is there though. Hopefully he can get there.I don't think the need for a scorer is really what plagues this team. They have a lot of good shooters, but they have a giant, gaping hole at the 1C position.
This team needs a strong top line pivot more than anything. Someone that can be a difference maker at even strength and take over games on the PP. If they somehow could fill that position, I think this team would likely score a ton of goals scoring by committee.
A 50 goal scorer would be a great add, but I'm honestly not sure any goal scorers score 50 playing with the centers Seattle currently has on the roster.
I think we need more high-end playmakers. Like you said, the shooters are there and scoring by committee can work with those playmakers. Honestly, any top-end playmakers would be a welcome addition. Does not matter if they come at F or at D. Looking at our roster, almost every team has 1-2 better forwards than our best 2 forwards. Even the crappy teams do.
