If you were a NCAA Centre that was graduating after this coming year that might be able to play in the NHL in the next 2-3 years AND could pick their team would you pick the Flames?
A few years ago Stajan, Backund, Horak, Blair Jones, Begin, Rienhart were the centre depth and Cammalleri and Tanguay were being forced to play centre to fill in the spot.
Basically a UFA NCAA centre would look at the Flames and figure he had a chance to slot in at #3.... (Knight for instance)

There's almost no chance Granlund, Jooris or Bouma will play centre any more, and Arnold is not close to making the team IMO. Jankowski is a couple years away still, about when Stajan will be done here. The 3-4 centres will be Backs, Janko, Shore or Colborne, and the latter two can play wing.
