I think it HAS to happen. Just no other UFA centres available (unless it's Tavares). Just hope that Dubas/Lou/Mike told Nylander last April. You're playing centre. He can train for centre, and get his head into months in advance. My thought is the Leafs could do quite well at RW with Marner, Hyman, Kapanen and Brown. LW, Grundstrom, Johnson, Marleau, Martin, Leivo.
And to answer your question, Yes he up to the task. And still he will have the opportunity to play wing on the PP.
