I just wanted to see what you guys think as a discussion.
As for my opinion, I actually do want to see some prospects given the chance to be a center at the NHL level. I think that Dube, Ruzicka, and Zary have potential to develop into a top 6 center. Right now I don't know how that would work, but I'm not too worried about it either because I think Lindholm can always play #1RW as well.

Not a concern IMO. If we want to play more young players, having a veteran C is beneficial than detrimental. It's transitioning from those C after 3 years that might be of concern, but I honestly think any 2 of those guys will be good mentors and still playing at a more than adequate level to mentor and insulate from the bottom 9.
