I don't necessarily think we are weak at center considering Lindholm and Bennett can play the position but I do agree we could use another center to balance out the top 9.
It's disappointing that we signed Ryan and he isn't really adding anything to our top 9 as of yet. If he doesn't end up fitting in it will be a hinderance to filling that role as his salary basically just replaces Stajan as an overpaid 4th line C.
As things are we may already need to offload Frolik's salary just to accommodate a Tkachuk extension so it's a bit of a double whammy if he doesn't start contributing a bit more.
I gotta say I never liked the signing so maybe I'm not being completely fair to the player.
