Not sure Grandlund is a true center. Face off 39% = not good, and only over 101 face offs. Not much for hits or blocks either.
Where's Rowney?
I think Cullen retires or goes to MIN, and would prefer Rowney playing 4th C over Pirri since he took limited faces-offs (243, though at 57%), very little block shots or hits, though I like the versatility to playing all forward spots, but if he cost 1.5m I'd rather save that and chase a better 4th center in a trade or go with Rowney and Aston-Reese or whoever is next up.
Scott Wilson started as 4th center when injuries shifted the other centers up, and then pushed him out to the wing eventually. I'm not sure Rutherford isn't happy to move Wilson to 3rd center with Rowney at 4th.
Totally agree on NOT needing Duchene though. Need limited cap hit, face offs, blocks, hits, PK, a 30ish points, 3rd line Center.
