Derek Stepan will need to dramatically improve his work on faceoffs if he wants to remain at center this season. He owned the worst winning percentage in the league among players who took more than 700 draws at 38.5 percent on 719 total. Stepan is projected to center the second line in 2011-12, but if he can't display improvement then he may be better served on the wing.
