My list of possible 3rd line checking centers


Recommended Posts

Matt Stajan (CGY*) -– If Calgary would eat some salary he would be a nice fit (don't see Calgary doing us favors)

Derek Roy (DAL*) -– Would love to get him, but I see him riding shotgun to Kesler, not being 3C

Eric Belanger (EDM*) -– Realistic target. Insignificant enough Edmonton might move him to us. Would likely center line 4 (and be used in a very low o-zone deployment role)

Marcel Goc (FLA*) -– My #1 choice. Really hope we could get him for a 2nd. Criminally underrated.

Shawn Matthias (FLA*) -– Im not sold on Matthias. Not bad... but not very good at anything.

Paul Gaustad (NSH*) –- Nashville moved a 1st for him. Would assume he would cost a 1st +

Brian Boyle (NYR) -– Would be a solid option. Is a guy who can soak up d-zone starts.

Max Talbot (PHI*) –- I like Talbot, still think he would require an overpayment.

Boyd Gordon (PHX*) -– Could be brought in... but don't see him as a big enough upgrade on Lapierre.

Michael Handzus (SJ*) -– See above.

Vladimir Sobotka (STL) -– Feel like STL wouldn't make him available (as a contender). Sobotka plays a very "Jannik Hansen" game. They love him in STL

Nate Thompson (TB*) –- Just re-upped in Tampa. Don't think hes moving

Jay McClement (TOR) -– Just signed in TO, has looked awesome (him and Grabo have been eating up heavy minutes all season)

Jay Beagle (WSH*) - See him as too lateral of a move from Lapierre.
