Interesting, the one article has Colbourne centering the fourth line... did he spend any time at Center last season?

This season is where it is great to have Stajan, if Monahan slumps a bit and Backlund struggles with top line minutes, they can shelter both of them with a more than capable veteran.

Their list is odd... Jankowski is ranked pretty high and Baertschi/Reinhart/Wotherspoon didn't even make their top 10.

From what I remember, he spent most of the season at Centre. It wasn't until the last quarter of the season or so that he started playing on Monahan's wing.

Baertschi and Reinhart aren't considered rookies anymore
