Room for improvement for sure but I don't think this is the root cause of our possession numbers being poor. I think that's more the result of the systems they play and I'm not worried about it.

I think Colborne and Monahan will be just fine at faceoffs. If Bennett plays C, I'm interested in seeing what he can do. And by all accounts Shore isn't bad.
