Coach Montgomery has made it crystal clear when it comes to Matt Poitras' role on the team. He didn't mince words, stating firmly,
"I don't see him as a winger."

This viewpoint emerged after an experiment during the Rookie Camp where Poitras had a go as a winger. But the feedback was unanimous:

"this guy's a center."

It's not just about the here and now; Coach Montgomery underlined the importance of this distinction for the team's future. The emphasis is squarely on recruiting and nurturing centers. This isn't just a short-term strategy but a long-term game plan aimed at fortifying the team's performance today and setting the stage for success down the road.
