Nick Bonino left for Nashville, Oskar Sundqvist was traded for Ryan Reaves and Matt Cullen still hasn’t made a decision about his possible return to the league. And the Pittsburgh Penguins offseason has not made centers a priority, leaving the team with a large gap up the middle of the ice.

The Pros
The 21-year-old forward from Germany is coming off a superb season with the Edmonton Oilers.
