Per his interview today ... "Zacha will be a Center"
Then later: "...doesn't mean he won't be a Winger ... has to be ready for both"
Not sure what to make of the lines with Zacha at 3C. Maybe it's just hyperbole

Jesper Boqvist will start at the center position as well, says #NJDevils Lindy Ruff.

He also said this which is very strange
Jack, Nico, and McLeod are all centers
Why put Zacha AND Bo at center?
