Its more likely Bourgault just plays RW along side McD or Drai then driving his own line so early in his career.

After seeing Bourgault's 2 way abilities I see him being more of a defensive minded elite sniper than an offensive dynamo or elite skating speedy forward. Bourgault will drive a line of his own kind and players like Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will be better on a line rather than having McDavid and Drai play with a defensive minded forward as they spend most of the time in the offensive zone. Bourgault has a very high ceiling especially for his draft position and cant turn into a Bergeron/Pastrnak, or realistically be kinda like what Shane Pinto will be in 5 years or think of Byfield rn and his elite defensive abilities
