As far as center prospects, I saw some rumours Chicago has been offering Brandon Pirri in some trade proposals. Playmaker who puts up good but not earth-shattering numbers in the AHL. Prospect-wise I don't know if Chicago has all that much to offer us (outside of Saad & TT). Blackhawks fans online seem fed-up with Dave Bolland however. If management feels the same I'd take him on board as part of a retool. Maybe in a swap for one of our gazillion left wingers (Cammy?)

He was drafted 18th and likely at best ranked 10th so I am not sure of him falling "very far."
And his upside is certainly much more than 4th liner. That may be what he ends up as but his upside is a 2nd line center.
