I would probably look to draft a centerman as a replacement down the road. I think that [Jack] Studnicka is a player who has offensive attributes. We’re going to see him be a pro this year and develop. He won’t be rushed along. He’s got areas of his game he needs to continue to evolve and get stronger. Again, Frederic is another centerman, so we have depth within the organization, but it’s hard to replace those guys. Those guys are elite, elite hockey players and have been such for a long period of time. Generally, you have to select them, draft them, develop them and put them in there and let them grow.
