I don't get why people get so defensive over a very, very simple, hockey related question.

Sensitivity is pretty high around here. You made a point, a lot of centres but no true #1. It has always been a problem for the Leafs and the Habs as well.

Markov?

Or someone younger.

or Plekanec maybe

I only see those two choices, PK is still to raw for it, imo. Maybe in a couple of years.

which is why I was oh so "defensive" ..sarcasm and "trolling" is also big around here.

Montreal is kind of in the same boat.

With Plekanec, Desharnais, Eller, Galchenyuk, Malhotra.

I'd like to see Galchenyuk play center...

Yeah it is what it is... these guys don't grow on trees. And they don't get traded very often either.

that is ghastly. it's a miracle the team is as good as it is with the tire fire.

Markov?

Or someone younger.

Could be, just for a few years, until one of the younger guys is ready to take the lead...

goal tending my friend. Goal tending wins championships.

wouldn't be shocked to see them plunge in the standings quite a bit...

Sundin was a true #1.. So it hasn't always been a problem. I think all this talk about what a team needs is a little overblown. Sure, Bozak doesn't produce as much as other top line centers around the league, but he fits well with Kessel so what would you rather do with him? Leafs score plenty of goals so Bozaks offensive production is hardly an issue.

After he left. we got the winger but not the centre.

The only other team without a true elite #1 that won the cup is the Bruins.

Hands down.

Palmy grew up in my neighbourhood.

So did Dan Hill.

Whenever you got a text book in junior high school, the first thing you'd do is check if it had a Palmy or Dan Hill autograph in it.

Like Gardiner talk that use to attracts HH, this attracts Glucky, lol.

Me neither ...back to your question though - Winnik is a winger (mostly). Leafs still don't have a lot of quality down the middle. Bozak, Kadri, Holland and Kontiola.

You need to go to Wikipedia and add some stuff about Palmateer. That's a sad looking Wiki page.
