So if you were the Blackhawks, which center are you trying to land first and sign to an extension? The two I'm hearing are Richards and Jokinen, my choice would be Jokinen. He's still got tons of game left in him, put him with any combination of Kane, Toews, Sharp, Havlat and you have one very powerful line there. He fits the old Blackhawk mold of rugged center who isn't afraid to throw his weight aroung (see Roenick), and he will even drop the mits if needed. I am praying the Hawks land him, he is one of my top three "gotta have" players for them to really get back to towards the top in the next couple years.
