Keep him, but move him down to #2C. Is he a good player? Yes. Is he a #1C? No.
Regardless of the numbers he's put up the last few years, he can't generate offense by himself nor make his linemates better, and that was painfully obvious against Dallas. He's not the type of player you can put young guys with and he'll make them better, he needs to be setup.

Trade Johnny+ for a center who makes the players around him better (as was rumored in the other thread, Couturier would be perfect) and then sign Hall. All of a sudden our center depth is Couturier, Monahan and Backlund, flanked by Hall, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Dube, Bennett and Mangiapane.
