Or are we going to have a third "core center" be a defensive specialist? It would be a shame if Sean's offensive talents kind of "go to waste".

this is why there are many of us who see Backlund as a very important part of the core group... He would play that role, allowing Monahan and Bennett to be a little more creative...
