Marner can't win faceoffs. That's why he's not playing C already.

Did you notice what he did while playing centre ice for the London Knights? He has the strength and experience now to make the switch and the hockey world is going to be blown away. They use to say Gretzky was weak on faceoffs so do not buy your logic.

Dvorak was the C on that line, he took 1335 faceoffs, Marner took 213....
