There should be no blanket rules against anything, that's where you get yourself into trouble. Every situation has to be assessed on its own.
I know it's not your preferred outcome but this team is always proving again that a bottom 5 finish is probably not in the cards. Worst case is probably that 7-12 range again I think.
They are going to have to be creative with how they fill this void at C. They have to hope they do have a chance to draft the top line guy at some point but a trade for a C shouldn't be something they avoid either.
And I think what we actually haven't talked about is what if the piece they'd be willing to move is actually something like Coronato but get a similar piece that is a C instead of a winger.

I would be totally ok if we were to trade a young player like a Coronato, either alone or in a package, for a young C of a similar age. It would allow us to keep all of our firsts as well.
People keep suggesting putting Zary at C, but in the few times they tried him there he looked much less effective offensively.
