Look at our division - how many teams would you definitively trade our centers for their top two?

- Panthers: yes
- Bruins: hell no
- Maple Leafs: yes
- Lightning: yes
- Red Wings: no
- Senators: maybe?
- Canadiens: no

that is at least middle of the pack

- Slump Buster

so now it's middle of the pack in the division?
I still say we are in the bottom 12 for top 2 centers as of now and as a group of top 3 centers, probably bottom 8 in the league

they flat out suck on the dot

I think our 3 biggest disappointments on the ice last year was tage, cozens and power

you could say our best center got shipped out west because we overpaid the other 2 guys before he was due a long term contract

It was easier to do than going through all of the teams.

Could you really consider Tage a disappointment if he was really hurt?

We shipped out our most productive center. If he was our best, we are in trouble. As others have said, I think we are fine at center. Its a hell of a lot easier to try to find 3C and 4C.

I’m not in the least concerned at center 1 and 2. Nor the 4lw.

Both are very good players and signed long term

I’ll worry about finding a 3c like Sam Bennett and a couple other upgrades at forward .

Maybe upgrade the 4th line center who played 80 games and scored 4 goals?

- Boss34

there is lots of good players out there

most of the teams in the final 8, had great players though and unless in the right system, our centers are never going to be great

I would have moved one of the 3 to wing and kept casey, esp if buying out skinner is in the cards

I'll do the same thing with playoff teams. A "yes" means that we would trade our top centers for theirs.

Florida - Yes, but I don't love Bennett as 2C
Boston - No
Toronto - Yes, because of Matthews
Rangers - push (probably a small edge to Rags, but their guys are older)
Carolina - No
Islanders - No
Tampa - Yes
Washington - No

Dallas - Yes
Winnipeg - No
Colorado - Yes
Vancouver - Yes, but I don't love Petterson
Edmonton - Yes
LAK - No
Nashville - No
Vegas - push? I assume Stephenson is gone
