GM Chuck Fletcher have to address this need during the offseason

However, his recent surgery is concerning. Also, the contract he signed with the Flyers (which will begin next season) could backfire in the team's face. His deal will end at age 36.

It's the same thing for Kevin Hayes, a good player, but not good enough for his cap hit (7M$ per year), and he also has medical problems.

As stated by Dan Esche, Chuck Fletcher must address the problem at the center position, because obviously, those two guys are not the answer. The only player that could fill this hole on the UFA market this summer is Tomas Hertl.

Chuck Fletcher will have a lot of work to do this summer, and it will be difficult because there's not going to be a lot of room under the cap to deal with. The more likely option would be to acquire a top centre by a trade.
