Description

Once everyone is healthy what do we do?
We have to many centers.
Who can realistically switch to wing with out hurting development or production?? Who gets traded?

I put them in the order I think they would be for centers
Maybe Dach goes to RW with the emergence of Suter and Kurashev?
Scratches are players who might be traded when we are healthy.

A number of these guys have played wing at some point. Kurashev, Suter, Kampf, Söderberg, Shaw. I think Strome is the hard one to predict right now. Hes playing well and a big reason the Hawks PP is so hot right now. He's someone that really hasn't translated to Wing. Toews is a pure center. Even if he has to go to the #3C...he'd be amazing there too. Dach maybe at Wing. His ability to control the puck actually reminds me of Hossa on the boards. Even in his rookie year he was beating NHL veterans routinely along the boards. Am I worried that will hurt his growth as a future #1C...a little, but I don't have a crystal ball either. Id 100% be happy if he turned into Hossa FOR SURE! would still be an outstanding pick at #3 OA.

I agree I would love to see him be a Hossa type player
So what would that make you top 4 centers
Toews
Strome
Wallmark
Kampf

Thinking that Kurashev Shaw suter carpenter all go to wing and soderburg leaves or gets traded??

Toews, Dach, Strome, Kampf is a very solid center core. Kurashev and Suter can definitely play wing but also allows for flexibility in case of injury or various zone starts and special teams.

Wallmark and Soderberg are redundant pieces and should be moved.
