Who the heck is going to replace him?
Lazar is the most experienced NHL centreman we have in reserve and he's not that experienced and has probably played more wing than centre.
I guess you could move Bennett to centre. It all seems quite drastic. Who's to say Neal wasn't dragging Janko down? Jankowski has not been that bad IMO. He was one of our best PKers this season. And he's a young guy that we want to continue to develop and grow and these playoffs are his first and a big experience for him.
I think you stick with your centremen. There are no better options. Wing and defense are areas that Peters has a lot of flexibility. I'd argue we don't really have any flexibility at centre when healthy. There's a clearcut top 4 and it would be foolish to move away from that IMO.
