Treliving quite fairly thought he had centre worked out, and turned to filling out the D and goaltending. Because the actual common wisdom is that it's down the middle and D that wins. Look at Nashville. Their C depth is good but not great, but they have stellar D and elite goaltending.

I understand that Bennett played wing until he went to Kingston and there were questions there about whether he was a Center or a winger. If this is correct, I am sure Treliving would have known, and built his own actual expectations off of that.
