That is the issue though, who wants to trade us an offensively gifted center? If we can sign Danault for a shorter term as a 2/3c and allow him to relieve ek of the shutdown role to an extent it would also allow us to groom Rossi khovanov Marat and beckman(if he is a center, saw he is playing it currently). By no means is he the center I want in my top six right now as he doesn’t score a lot but with the options that seem to be out there and just simply for faceoff prowess alone I don’t see him as an awful fit unless we overpay for too long which we have shown in the past to do. Maybe if it’s a 5x5 with no NTC/NMC then we can at least use him to groom the pups and trade him once they are ready.No, sign a vet to a 1 or 2 yr deal at a low rate as a placeholder or trade for someone offensively gifted
Plan a is trade for a young center that fits the offensively gifted criteria, plan b is stay the course sign a vet placeholder that may help a little, and let marat or khovanov build a year or two, (maybe draft another center this year) and then crack the lineup.
