He has played winger most all his nhl time. And for all his obvious talent, I don't see him as a center at this point. He obviously COULD move back, but he is not good on FOs, Kings have other guys locked into top 3 center spots so they don't need him to, and his top offensive skills (skating, power game, finishing skill) are all at least as valuable on the wing, while his lesser areas (playmaking, hockey sense) are less important as a wing. he is still young enough that he likely will improve his weaker areas and may even force his way to their 1c position, but i think more likely he becomes star power winger who is kind of a cross between kreider and rantanen.Uh.. Byfield has been playing mostly wing this year no? Not sure "more valuable position" applies here considering he had his breakout as a winger. Let's see how he plays going back to center first, he might actually end up a winger long term if his play is better as one.
and i voted for Slaf bc I think he is gonna be even better.
