Erik Haula will likely play at center next season. While coach Mike Yeo would not commit to Haula playing center only, he did say that that the Finn, who busted his jaw at the 2014 World Championships, was best suited to play as a pivot. "I like him in the middle. I think his speed is more of a factor when he's coming through the middle of the ice," Yeo said. "Defensively he's very, very strong down low in his own zone -- because of his speed, because of his stick, because he's a smart player." Haula did not require surgery and should be 100 percent by the end of June.
