I would expect the Flames to sign a veteran center was a UFA in the offseason to help hold the fort for a few years of the rebuild

They would almost have to in order to make the cap floor. Though I will admit I haven't done the full calculations on that.
Your pending UFA Centers though are Kevin Hayes, Anders Lee, Evgeni Malkin, Nick Schmaltz (interesting name), Trevor Zegras (probably will sign in philly), Charlie Coyle, Alex Weenberg, JG Pageau.
Kinda yuck but there might be a stop gap or two in there.
Or just trade for J-Dicks. (what am I talking about, he's not a center. Oh well I got to use the name J-Dicks)
