Roof...3 years running without a clear #2 center going into the seasons. Plugging Sharp or Kane in there last year negatively affected both guy's protential production, and both admit that they prefer Wing. A lot of guys have been plugged into the slot...Handzus has been the best fit, but lacks the speed on the rush, and is not a long-term solution.

Many 'Hawk fans recognize that this team has Championship potential, but, aside from Toews, weakness in the faceoff dot can derail those aspirations. Certainly dominant performace by the Wings on faceoffs helped their puck possession game last round, a round my guys nearly lost.
