LOL@depth at center. We had an 18 year old rookie, a 24 year old 2nd/3rd liner, a veteran 3rd liner, and a rookie 4th liner who had struggled to make the NHL until now. When your competition is Joe Colborne, Matt Stajan, and an 18 year old Monahan (who was very good, don't get me wrong), if you can't crack that list you're not really good enough to be in the NHL yet.
Left wing was definitely pretty crowded last year, but it's not much of an excuse this year. Also helps if someone can play their off-wing.
