I don't care how good a winger the Russian is, Flames should focus on centre men.

We had the best winger in the game for a few years there and it wasn't enough. The Caps had the best winger in the game after we did and it has gotten them nothing either. Yet every year, the top teams in the league are loaded up the middle, be it scoring centres, playmaking centres, or defensive centres.

I want all 3 first rounders to be centremen. Monahan/Lindholm first pick, Compher/Lazar/Wennberg second pick, Petan/Dauphin/De la rose third pick. Horvat or Domi would be nice with the second pick but they are likely long gone.

You can always move centremen to the wing, if you have the hockey iq to play centre, you can easily convert to the wing. Wingers have a hard time converting to the centre position as we've seen.
