You don't think they'll sign a Boyle type 4th line center who can move up and down the lineup in case of injury? The far worst concern is what happens if Reilly or Zaitsev gets hurt.

I think they'll want to sign Boyle, but I think he'll get a longer term deal somewhere else.

My contention is.....what happens next season if Bozak or Kadri gets hurt?....Gauthier is your third line center.

Plus, other than Brooks, there is not a developmental center in the organization.

The Leafs will likely dip into the KHL, perhaps swap one of their prospect wingers for one and/or draft a center in the first two rounds.

- mikeinbuffalo

Well, as Babcock has said that Nylander will eventually be a centre, I guess they'd play him there. In fact, right now I think that you could put him in Bozak's place and see enough offensive improvement to make up for the slight reduction that may occur defensively (apart from faceoffs, Bozak's is really quite poor defensively).

If you're giving sheltered third line minutes to a line of Leivo/Leipsic - Willie - Kapanen then you're probably not doing too bad...

Center depth is probably the only thing nobody should be very concerned about when it comes to next season.

Marner could be used at center short-term as well if injuries were to occur.

Too small for the NHL. Maybe if this was the Solar Bears we were talking about.
