He has the most offensive talent of all of our forwards (In my opinion of course), he is responsible defensively and is the only center we have that i trust to win the faceoff and get the puck to Hemsky. I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else centering that first line.

Jacques problem is we barely got to see any of him because of that back injury, and before that, he seemed to be too much in the mindset that he had to be a scorer. He’s obviously no offensive threat now, but could be a good energy guy with the upside of being able to fight well. It’s hard to cut a guy like that loose though because as someone else mentioned, big bodies that can skate are hard to come by. Pouliot though.. I think he’s replaceable. Even within our current roster.

And I completely wish Quinn was hired before last year ended. That would have helped a lot in him seeing what everyone is capable of. Now he’ll have to wait until training camp and get a rushed look.
