The good thing is that we have Monahan and Jankowski, so there isn't a "huge" need for a center. Additionally, next year 7 of the top 11 guys are centers, with only 1 winger and 3 D-men (only one 1 d-man in the top 7). With the Flames likely being a bottom 5 team again next year, we'll definitely have a chance at getting one of those centers (especially if we're in McDavid/Eichel range).

Janko is still a project. If Backlund takes that next step on being an every team 2nd line center then I would say flames are doing all right at center. You can never have to many good center prospects. Their value is gold in the trade market.
Also if you are going by need like you are suggesting in your post, then lw is pretty full up.
