Calgary Flames Hunt for Young Center

They got some prospects like Cole Rushney and Colin Potter, but really need an NHL-ready guy down the middle. GM Craig Conroy knows talent there is scarce, so he's eyeing trades this off-season.

Moverick Berkho from Dallas adds versatility, taking hundreds of face offs while hitting career highs of 20 goals. At 24, he's a restricted free agent ready to grow. Conroy might gamble on
