    Dont. It never works out when teams try to galaxy brain these type of moves. Failed when the Oilers tried that with Hall, Failed when the Canadiens tried that with Drouin.

    When you have offensively talented wingers...let them be offensive talented wingers, dont change their game by making them Centres. You get a poor Centre and you get poor offensively results making them take on more responsibility playing the middle of the Ice

    just signed Danault in the offseason and enjoy your riches on the wings

    Apparently he played C when he was younger and NYR asked him before drafting him if he would give it a try again. We would have drafted him anyways of course but just giving a timeline of when they talked to him about it. So there’s an outside chance he is a C in a few years

    Definitely an interesting one. I honestly haven't watched him play enough. What I do know is the transition from Center to Wing isn't too bad. Transition from Wing to Centre is generally a nightmare. Some players have an easier time going from Wing to Defensemen due to board play. Center is and will always be the most challenging position.

    If this happened, it would solve their problems for needing a 1C/2C

    But it won't happen
