But you really don't see a lot of teams like that where they've got this incredible group of elite players at the top and none of them are centers.

dallas has down the middle colorado might have the best up of any team in either conference down the middle but again it is still that question of how will it hold up and again will it be enough and i want to ask you about vegas as well i mean of course they made the the late coaching change the extremely late coaching change with john tortorella coming in and it's going to be fascinating to see how that plays out but just generally looking at vegas as a whole do you see a potential fatal flaw for them

Ryan, this was awesome.

Really appreciate it.

Can't wait for the playoffs to start.

And let's do this again once the playoffs are underway.

That is Ryan Clark covering the NHL for ESPN.

We will do the whiteboard to wrap up since we chatted with Yannick Hansen right off the top of the show today.

And that will include some just recently published information in the broadsheet in the rumor roundup section of the whiteboard.

So stay tuned for that.

We'll try to get Adam Foote's last availability home game, home game availability of the season in as well if we have time.

next here on Canucks Talk Sportsnet 650.
