Adjusting to the centre ice position is a HUGE adjustment...not everyone sees the ice the same, and with the head-hunting D-men out there it takes someone who knows not to cut to the middle and has eyes in the back of their helmet. You also take a guy out of position that is used to using his size in the corners and clogging the net...and now asking him to be the playmaker and use the ice in a different manner...it's not near as easy as you might thinkQuote:

Stev Nash anyone?:)
