There's no one to replace Rooney at centre right now. Kerins was just not good enough on the draw and like it or not, faceoffs are a big part of coach's decisions these days it seems. When Zary comes back Rooney is out I bet. You can have:
Huberdeau-Kadri-Pelletier
Coronato-Backlund-Coleman
Kuzmenko-Zary-Sharangovich
Lomberg/Hunt/Kerins/Strongren/Bishop-Pospisil-Klapka
Pelletier can replace Rooney on the PK.

That does nothing to help Rooney's case because Rooney does not even help in that aspect either. I believe Rooney is only at about 47% in the faceoff dot. So he's very much no good at that too.
Rooney is this team's weakest link. Good bye Roondawg.
