Bourque's Twin · 01-30-2013, 12:39 PM

I want the Flames to pick him up because he's young and skilled.

However, I don't see where he fits into the lineup. He's less proven than Backlund and certainly less proven than Stajan, who are good 2nd/3rd line centres. Those are the only 2 guys he could replace up the middle.

He doesn't fill the 1st line centre role (obviously) and he's not a 4th line centre.

In the top 9 we have,
Glencross - Tanguay - Iginla
Hudler - Stajan - Cervenka
Baertschi - Backlund - Stempniak

I like the looks of it this way.
