Full 23 man roster with cap space

So Tavares or Matthews goes down in the playoffs again. Who plays in a top 2 c scoring roll?

Galchenyuk probably. I know thats not to good but because they are making so much that's the risk you take

With the cap space the have they will be able to accrue a decent amount for a deadline pickup, which is exactly what I expect them to do. Kampf can service as 3c make a deadline pickup for a C/LW with good faceoff% and offensive ability and leave him on 2nd or 3rd line left wing and if a center gets injured he fills the void.

You're better off keeping Kerfoot on the wing and having him play C if needed. Hence why giving up kerfoot is a bad idea without a replacement

So essentially trade kerfoot for no reason then trade for him back at the deadline? (I realize he isn't great in the dot, but otherwise that is exactly him).
