Andrew Cogliano appears to have won the third line's center's spot with the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks acquired Cogliano from the Oilers in exchange for a second round pick in the 2013 Entry Draft. The former first round pick in the 2005 Draft had struggled mightily for the Oilers the last few seasons and a change in scenery was needed. The Ducks love his speed and creativity at center. "His speed is his number one asset," coach Randy Carlyle said. "We have to find a way to help him to get that speed to be noticeable. And it was very noticeable in the last game we played him at center. We practiced with him a couple of times on the wing and I don't think it's as effective. I told him that we're probably going to stay with him as a center iceman and see how that goes." Look for Cogliano to pick up about 40 points but he gets added value if you use face offs as a category.
