They did and per an interview in the Portland news paper he didn't feel comfortable and didn't like playing the position.
awesome.. how long ago was that? was it because he was young and still maturing to the higher level of play?

That might be, but he did win the AHL Rookie of the Year doing it. Something tells me he got over it.

Yep. He can't produce with friggin' Adam Mair. and the downfall of Max .
Played fine on the 1st line with Kovy in Atlanta.
Problem is they should have moved him after the 05/06 season.
He skates and plays exactly like him.
you don't expect ennis to be a power forward, do you?

I meant in Buffalo
I remember I was at Max's return to Buffalo. The entire arena booed him. I cheered for him. I can understand booing Briere, but Max? Really?

He didn't play much center that year because of it. He won ROY from the wing.
it is lucky that he's been injured so much, hopefully we'll be able to get away with underpaying him. or maybe darcy will just accept his agent's first offer.
Darcy overpays players he drafts.. he feels a connection to them that makes him see the potential within and he pays for it
Part of Max's problem was that Lindy Ruff continued to play him with guys that couldn't skate with him. That made both Max, and his linemates a liability. I know there were times where he didn't warrant top 6 minutes, but putting a guy like that in the bottom six is one of the worst things you can do to a team.
his problem was that he didn't drive to the net even when he could've beaten the d-man

nope a guy that has the potential to be a 20-25g and 40-45a guy.
There's that word again.

I remember watching Max on the third line with Gaustad or Mair and then like Kotalik or MacCarthur on the other side..
what Afinogenov did to Tyler Myers and scored on Miller in the first game against ATL is forever burned into my memory...
between myers legs.. and deked Miller and top shelfed him I think
at work so I can't youtube it

even NHL 12 would pop up a box that says "Your f'n kidding me right"
nope a guy that has the potential to be a 20-25g and 40-45a guy.
he almost hit that last season (20g, 29a,) got off to a slow start this year, then was injured...
plus, he's been productive in the playoffs

You possibly traded him and left out Leopold.
I want no part of Carter on this team. They're trying(I hope at least) to build a cup winner not a frat house.

Yep watched it live. It was a dirty move. I think Lalime was in net though.

but if the team was in a playoff spot you would say you're a diehard, wouldn't you?
I remember watching Max on the third line with Gaustad or Mair and then like Kotalik or MacCarthur on the other side..
so why did he not do that in buffalo?

20-25g yearly and 40-45a.
I go back to what I've said all along. One small guy on the top 9. 2 of Ennis, Roy, and Gerbe need to go if winning the cup is the goal.

Buffalo didn't let him back in their top 6 is my belief.. they wanted "power forwards" and not danglers..

It was Lalime.
