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.

Worried about this game and the next. Hopefully we can go .500

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.

And he's shown he can handle those, so time to see how much more he has to offer.

He's played 4 games, mostly against very bad teams.

He's looked good but throwing him straight into 20 minutes of high-leverage would to me be a bit ridiculous.

Yeah going right to 20+ minutes wouldn't be the next step. But Soucy isn't playing well, so shuffling the bottom 4 (5 with Forbort I guess) around a bit and having 2 18 minute pairings behind H/H is something to look at.

Won't happen tomorrow night, but imo it is time to give Brannstrom a bit more time and responsibility and see how it goes. But I'm meaning 16+ mins, not 20.

Really though, next step for Bran Van 3000 is to see how he looks on the right.
