interesting article...williams signed to be a 3rd line center?

[Guest blueadams]

I'm in agreement about williams not being good enough defensively to center a line in this system. I'm guessing that we start the season off with these lines...

Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Cleary

Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi

Leino-Helm-Williams

Holmstrom-Draper-Eaves

Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Kronwall-Stuart

Lebda-Ericsson

Meech

Osgood

Howard

Helm's a great defensive player, and Leino isn't as bad as his european pedigree, size and speed would lead one to believe (think datsyuk...less speed). It'll be nice to have a talented offensive player like Williams out there for Leino to work with. That line's going to be fine. That 4th line is a bit of a joke though.
