why not? if he's good on faceoffs, responsible defensively, adds some Kadri to his frame... why can't he be an effective 4th-line centre playing with guys like Moen, Prust and Bournival?

I swear I just had a deja vu

Because in a perfect world, your 4th line is playing the other teams top line for 30 seconds applying pressure deep in the other zone and playing the trap making sure nothing gets thru.
For this, winning faceoffs isn't so important because you shouldn't put your fourth line when there's a faceoff in your end. Responsible defensively shouldn't matter either as you simply go after the puck carrier to hit him.

1st line - scoring
2nd line - scoring
3rd line - shutdown
4th line - energy line

your fourth line is going to have to take draws (agree on the D zone) regardless. so no matter where that draw is, you want the puck so you can dump it in and forecheck. having a 4th line C who can take draws also gives you an enormous luxury on crucial draws when your faceoff ace is gassed.

Tom Brady Vail will be our #1 Centre

ok, in the perfect world where Leblanc develops into a consistent 25-goal threat, sure.

24 goals not good enough?

why not? if he's good on faceoffs, talented offensively, adds some Kadri to his frame... why can't he be an effective 1st-line centre playing with guys like Gallagher, Collberg and Bozon?

Seems like a pretty big sample size. You'd think he'd be better...you know with all the practice he got.

ok

So it's ok for Leblanc to become a winger but not for Eller ?
- WaterBoy

Leblanc will rule the boards. Not sure anyone will want to (frank) with him....at least not twice.

you're not actually whining about this are you?

The draft is about building and the 2012 draft looks to be one that has added yet another solid foundation for a potential Stanley Cup Contending team.

Sooo....if Eller becomes your long lost number one center, is Leblanc still the pride of Quebec?
