To me, they actually have guys who play center, at center. They've moved out guys with low hockey sense (Jokinen, Comeau) and they aren't just forechecking 1 guy on the puck anymore.
Feaster and co have found players who suit Hartley's coaching style. While trying not to get into another discussion, it seems to me that it's only taken 50 some games instead of 246 for the correct players to be put in their proper positions.
