Wonder what centers might be available, some underachieving teams with center depth out there.

Washington: Backstrom (likely untouchable)
Philly: Briere, Schenn, Couturier
Detroit: Flippula
New York: Richards
San Jose: Thornton, Pavelski
Florida: Weiss
Colorado: Statsny, O'Reilly

Issue is none of these guys are likely available in reality, especially with what the Flames have to offer without selling our future.

Statsny is the most intriguing to me. I think O'Reilly is more likely to sign in Colorado if he is promised top 6 minutes and trading Statsny provides that.

Plus Statsny is on a big contract and had underachieved, have to think Colorado would look to move that contract as a budget team now.
