Hey there's been many that made the switch.

When they did try him it was for a handful of games, there is a transition period.

Mathews might take a bit to be a number 1, if he will be that is yet to be seen.

Until then we need a number 1.

Would like them to revisit it under a new coach.

He didn't work out at centre. That said, I'd like to experiment with Willie at RD, imho he's closer Erik Karlsson than any forward comparison I can think of.

Becoming a C in the NHL isn't exactly an easy role, and requires certain characteristics, that JvR hasn't really displayed in his career. I get that he's a big guy, and there is a certain attractiveness to fantasize that he might be a good C, yet we don't even have a need anymore, so I'm not sure what this is about.

But what makes you think he would be able to eventually transition into being a 1c? What about JVR's game screams centre? Is it just his size? Style of play wise he does not look like a good centre at all, and indeed he wasn't when they actually tried that.

so many wtf we doing with jvr threads, trade jvr threads, now moving him to C?

meanwhile hes a 30 30 winger, and among the best at his position in the nhl

Remember when we had no centers?

Uh no.

 

[Anthrax442]

The time to do it was last season. Put him there all year and just let him figure it out. Or not.

Yes....i guess we could swap Gardiner with JVR...as many wanted him to play forward. I must have missed something like JVR struggling at left wing or us not having enough centers.

I'd like to see him as a goalie myself.

6"3, 200 pounds. Sounds like a #1 goalie?

That crossed my mind as well but then I also thought he might make a great coach and I couldn't decide which idea was best.

why stop there. let's impeach Shanahan, and install JVR.
The JVR-Plan. not as catchy as Shanahaplan, but hey we'll adjust.

No. Never again.

We should try him at backup goalie. We need one of those right?

 

[Mr Hockey*]

Why dont we try him at a two way winger?

It's a bizarre thread, one would think RHD would be the spot someone is playing genius with.

Not to mention mindless.
