I agree that the flames need an upgrade on a #1 center, but those kind of centers don't grow on trees. Teams don't tend to trade those kind of players. You pretty much have to draft one. Don't see flames drafting in the top 10 for a while either.

I guess they could try for Duchene, but he is going to get paid on July 1st. Have to think it would take $9 million per.

Would Pens finally think about trading Malkin? That said, i don't think he would be a good fit long term.

I would like to add Kadri if possible, but thats not helping out the 1st line.
