If the cost of a 2nd line offensive center is a D man with one year left on his deal that you're not even certain you;re going to keep past the end of his contract, I don't have an issue doing this trade. And maybe he re-signs. Duchene up the middle for this roster would be insane.
Monahan
Duchene
Backlund
Ryan
Thats a formidable 4 centers.
And As great as Brodie has been for the Flames, we have Valimaki who can come back up and move Andersson or whomever up to his spot. The D depth is insane.
