I do agree they need both a centre and a defender.

They're getting a center to play with Hall.
Jarome Iginla is a superstar player, but what could've been if he had a 1st line center? In his brief playing time with a #1 center (Olympics), IIRC he scored 2 goals with Sakic? And the famous Iggy to Crosby pass last year.
I think the lack of a #1 center may have cost the Flames a stanley cup this decade. (2006 and 2004 come to mind)
