But that's all waaaaayyyyy down the line. Game is at 6 tomorrow!!

Yeah totally agree. The top 3 centre positions are locked for the next couple of years. But thats pretty much what happened to Kesler during the first few years of his career. Morrison and Henrik had 1 and 2.
I know centre is Coho's natural position. But maybe AV will put Coho on Manny's RW so Manny can mentor Coho then.
People speculated that Manny won't be back until a full calendar year, if that's the case then the 3rd line centre will be vacant for at least the beginning of the season. Depending if we re-sign Lapierre.
But as of today, seeing some of the vids/news of Manny skating and taking some practices...who knows...
Still have Schroeder in the books too, dunno how long it will take him to develop and rip it up in the league.
