Galchenyuk as Center? Are we playing with fire?
Time for Galchenyuk to be a regular as Center? Which percentage of players drafted Top-3 at Center were forced to play at the wing for any length of time to start their careers... I was OK with a bit of play at the wing his first year, but the Habs are on a very slippery slope... How many years did Toews, Backstrom, Malkin, Staal, etc... play at wing before they could take face offs, skate below the hashmarks, learn the breakouts and systems for Centers? How much more learning to cover the points in the Habs zone does he need to go through?
Is alleged short-term expediency worth it to sacrifice the normal development of your prized franchise #1 Center?
