There are certain times that faceoffs are really important. Penalty kills, power plays, last minute of game, after icings, etc.. are all times where winning the faceoff gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Having 1 or 2 centreman that you are confident can win a draw when we need it is something every championship team needs IMO.
