I really wish people would stop trying to lump not having a 3C into having issues with the bottom-6 centers. The Penguins have about half a dozen options who could probably fill the 4C spot right now to an acceptable level. Their sole issue in the bottom-6 is not having a 3C, that's it. If Rowney doesn't work as the 4C, you can try McClement. If McClement doesn't work, you can try Blueger. If Blueger doesn't work (which I find highly unlikely), you can try Johnson. If Johnson doesn't work, you can try Dea. If Dea doesn't work, you can try McKegg.
The Penguins sole problem is not having a 3C. Stop exaggerating it to be overly dramatic. Signing Boyle (who got an awful contract) or Moore (who would have pushed Cullen out of Pittsburgh) would have done nothing to change that.
I mean, we can physically put a player in the 4C role. Just because they are there doesn't mean they are effective as we saw with Craig Adams.
