Thread: Luke Schenn traded to the Flyers for James van Riemsdyk

Oh boy.

Carlyle: Leafs may try to put van Riemsdyk at centre

round hole meet square peg

It's a lot easier for a center to play wing than the other way around.

Good ol' Toronto. Always spinning their wheels....

It is very difficult trying to find natural centermen. It sure sucks having Koptiar and Richards, huh?

jom

Yeah this move spells disaster all over it. I mean the kid is still trying to figure out his game and has a great opportunity to do it in a new surrounding on the top line w/ PK and Grabs. He has so much upside and now they're going to move him to center? I don't get it. It's like in football when receivers try to be successful at QB. Scratch the idea and stick him back on the wing and allow him develop.

Stupid Toronto... not paying attention. They should know success comes several years after trying your natural center at defense; not trying your wing at center.

Bunch of knuckleheads... That shortcut won't work.

Funny how Toronto is always the center of attention and it's the franchise with the least amount of success since expansion.
