I get that, it's just a logjam at center with that signing. They got Henrik, Gagner, Gaunce, Horvat, Burmistrov and Granlund, Molino and Sutter. Given that Molino looks like he a good 4th line player, it bumps some of those guys to the wings.
That being said it would be good for the Canucks to have these pieces so they can let their player groom in the AHL.
