Vierling had a monster year so he's one guy. Korczak is a solid center prospect but did nothing in his 5 game Pack audition which is understandable being barely 20 at the time. McC-Barker had a great year as an 18 year old center on a terrible team and has good size. Honestly, I figure they think they have Zibanejad, Trocheck and Chytil down the center. Lafreniere and Kakko with their hands need to be taking draws all off-season as Chytil sucks beyond belief on faceoffs. Goodrow to me is not a center. I think they really like this 6'7 guy Edstrom at center. He skates very well for a big guy that size and he looked good in the pre-season. The center position is pretty deep on the big club. If they knew at the deadline they weren't keeping him then why didn't they package him with a Jones for a worthwhile pick? Seems like a blunder by Drury.
Right, maybe with Korczak and McB ahead of him in the pecking order it's just a numbers game. He did have an injury coming into the draft so that could be still a factor.
Our prospects are doing pretty good in the playoffs. I’m hoping Edstrom becomes our Brian Boyle for a while soon.
Probably although Cuylle is good as well as Garand. Jones is a guy I would be trying to get if I was a team rebuilding.
