That's not bad, I guess it depends on Monahan's development, is he going to be that true number 1 center, or is he going to be that 1b/2a type of center.

I love the kids game and his smarts, but he's not exactly a offense generator, he's more of a cleanup guy with a great two way game. He's probably a better bigger version of Daymond Langkow.

We have to be careful in this rebuild, do we roll the dice on another center prospect or do we start building the blue line and wing positions.

I really like Colborne's game and I love the fact that he's accepted his role with this team with gusto. I think Stajan is great as long as the weight of the world isn't on him, and Backlund is looking like a good 2b/3a center. What I really like is that all of our centers going forward have good to great two way games. This is going to establish a great culture for the next 5 or so years.
