Yup, just like Kadri in the AHL.Quebec had Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg at center so Mats played wing when he first arrived. Cliff Fletcher recognized the Nordiques strength down the middle and acquired him for TO.
Darryl Sittler while drafted as a center played wing his first few years on a team that boasted Keon and Ullman etc at center.
Its really not that uncommon for players to break in at wing because a center has a lot more responsibilities defensively, face-offs etc that take time to learn against seasoned pros.
Also Galchenyuk, he got killed against St Louis the other night when they moved him back to centre.
