Jester is right. IF push came to shove, our Centers for the future are Giroux, Richards and Carter. You can put crap on the wings if you have too (a la Pittsburgh) but we need to keep our young guns down the middle.
I'd move Briere and his contract if possible. You guys forget Briere is signed for another 5 YEARS.
He is 32 already. EDIT: He will be 33 in October when the season starts up again. In 2 years he is toast, and then we have him signed for another 3.
