For now, Handzus can win a draw, but, is no solution at #2 C going forward. For Bolland, I can see him back at #3 C, next season, as it is unlikely that my guys can afford UFAs Bickell and Stalberg...Shaw back to RW on that line. Bolland struggles in the dot, big time, and that has held him back on a team that needs puck possession. Kruger has been a short term fix at #2 C, at times, and is young, but is also a sub-.500 FO guy.

I think you're missing one of the best 2nd line centers in the league, Patrick Sharpe. Up there with Patrice Bergeron as one of the best 2-way centers in the game.
