Look at our division we need to build a team to compete with the massive centers in our division.
I like the fact our center group are good at face offs and lots of size. Size doesn't mean hitting some through the boards. It means being able to absorb hits and not fall right down, protect the puck, be hard along the boards and win battles. Matt stajan for all the great things he's done in pre-season isn't going to compete against joe Thornton, anze kopitar, Ryan Getzlaf, henrik sedin.
Low risk move could pan out, might not.
I still think from what I saw in pre-season monahan is our best center.
