Well I'm a lot more interested in drafting McLeod and moving Bennett to wing than I would be with New Era's suggestion of moving McLeod to RW. Just don't see McLeod as a winger. I guess that is a fine idea.

I'd much rather keep Bennett at centre and draft a skilled power forward to play on his line. I think that results in higher offensive potential. I think with Backlund, Bennett and Jankowski that drafting a 2nd line centre isn't as appealing since we're so weak on the wing and so weak at size on the wing.
