Waiving Aman and keeping Bains would leave only four guys on the roster that are capable of playing centre. I can't envision Aman being waived unless they want to recall Raty.

Is Aman actually a centre? He can fill the position defensively but isn’t a playmaker and not good at face-offs.

Maybe Petey needs to eat some of them Guatemala insanity peppers.

That's been the position where he's seen the majority of his deployment. And once you get past Miller, Pettersson, Blueger and Suter there's no other forward on the roster besides Aman who has any NHL experience at centre; they're pure wingers.

Aman pretty much has been a winger since Tocchet has been coach. I don’t even view him as a center, I’m not sure the organization really does either.

I’ve always been curious though why they never tried Joshua at center. He was a natural center and had been until he became a Canuck.

I think Joshua started out playing a fair bit of centre in St. Louis but was then switched over mostly to wing. I guess he would be the next option in a pinch.

I'd almost say move Brannstrom up for Soucy and see if he can handle a bigger role. Bit of a gamble but he's playing very well at the moment and Soucy, well, isn't.
Brannstrom is playing 14 mins or less of easy minutes, pump the breaks.
