These fill-ins at center; Higgins, Raymond, Burrows are just ketting killed in the face off.
There is a chance that Shroeder will develop into (at least) a 3rd line center, but looks like he's not there yet.
Ebbett can't seem to develop much offence.
Unless we can get a trade for a bona fide center who can pinch hit for Kes this year, we need a Plan B (or C or D...

So is there a rental out there that we could get cheap, from a team out of the playoffs?
Should also be a UFA at years end, due to our Cap issues
What about Mike Ribeiro from the Craps?
If Tim Connoly for example was available for next to nothing, would we take him?
I know these guys have some detractors, but would they be a better option than Ebbett?
