Kotknaiemi looks to be a true future #1C, Danault is a very underrated player and will probably be one of the best #3C once Poehling is ready. Nothing wrong with Peca or plekanec in a bottom 6 role. They have options in Domi (who played well at C with Arizona although is more effective at wing) and Drouin who finished last year strong and knows what it takes to be a center now. Other potential C's within the organization include de la rose, suzuki, oloffson (best youn swedish player in men's league last year.. previous winners are aho, Forsberg, petterson.. good company), Evans, vejdemo, Alain and more.
If this centre lineup is a joke so is half the league, going to take a while for Montreal to shake the perception of "no centerman". The future looks good down the middle.
