Jim Montgomery Releases a Surprising Statement Regarding Matt Poitras
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.
