But that said, I love to dump Rooney, but for who? Who do we have that can play replacement level center on the 4th line? This is where a shrewd waiver pick up could help out, not unlike picking up Pachal last year.

That's a tough one too because Backlund/Rooney tend to get PP1 as a matchup.
So they are doing the heavier lifting.
