I mean, Ryan Hartman doesn't really drive play.

A first line or a center here, I should say, you might consider him a second line guy, but a guy that can drive play, win face-offs.

I think to get through the Stanley Cup playoffs, you need that.

And so am I trying to denigrate Boldy, Hughes, and Kaprizov?

Absolutely not.

They're fantastic.

And I think they will make an enormous difference.

I especially think Quinn Hughes will, since this will be his first time in the postseason with the Wild.

That's awesome.

But we're talking about trying to get past Colorado.

And just to keep this in mind, too, you're getting past potentially, if you get past Dallas, we're talking Colorado potentially in the second round, correct?

So, okay, then you've got to win two more rounds.

So this is not to say that those three players are not great, and this is not to say that they will not contribute mightily.

This is to say I don't know that you have enough of the ingredients to get to where you want to go.

And I'm sorry, and I know that the abs are great.

And, yes, James is right.

Center's win comes.

The abs are great, but if the Wild only gets past the first round, are we going to hold a parade?

They haven't done it since 15, but are we going to then hold a parade?

Are we going to shut down St.
