perfect we don't have a legit #1 Center again!

Our Centers are Roy, Adam, Goose and Ellis. All offseason all we heard after we signed Leino is that "he's a natural center", "he perfers Center", "he's played his whole career @ center", "He's confortable @ center" etc Now he wants to play wing. This team needs a #1 Center badly! I'm not giving up on Leino I like his style of play I also have his jersey so I can't give up on him. :rant:

Don't we still have Hecht? Is he healthy?

Not that Hecht is a legit #1 C but he could help stop the bleeding.

And do we have anyone in Roch ready to be called up at C? Leino could take Ennis' spot on the wing at least temporarily and we could see what happens.

Looks like Hecht may stay around for a bit now.

Luke Adam is looking like a #1 center right now.... If anything Leino was the #2 center and Roy #1. With Adam playing this well the move is fine with me.

To say we desperately need a #1 center just isnt true

[Crisis]

Why wouldn't he?

Right now the difference between him playing wing and center is being on a line with Roy/Stafford or McCormick/Boyes.

On the possibility of Jochen Hecht returning to the lineup?


"We'll find out more today with Jochen later, whether he can play or not.
Initial, I would say no," Ruff said.
