It's pitiful.

This is a poorly built team. Center is the most important position - it's the position good, successful teams build their rosters around. The Flames though? Oh, they don't need centers. They're above centers...but hey, the answers are in the dressing room.

Intellectual honesty my ass.

The excuse of "well, there aren't any available" is true, but it's a rubbish excuse. If this team wants to fight for 12th place in the West, then they'll continue on with horrible centers. #1 centers don't come up via free agenc or via trade very often (heck, Richards and Thornton are the only two in the last decade or so).
