I think we'll (hopefully) see a new mindset next year with the evaluation camp and selections. Something has to give.

Yeah, wasn't it 2010 when they had Toews playing 3rd line C? He was one of the best Centres in the NHL but not better than Crosby or...I forgot who was #2.
Top end players can play lower-end roles and be bumped up, its a lot harder to get lower-end players to step into Elite roles.
