Should we try Kakko, Laf, or Kravtsov at center?

This board is just never going to come to grips that the chances of the Rangers moving one of the young wings to center is very, very low.

And your basis for representing that as a fact is.... ??
Even when it is factually true that they have nothing to lose just by trying?

This is getting old. I don't think any of them will be tried at center. I think the Rangers are comfortable with Zibanejad, Strome and Chytil. Then you have Barron.

That said, the time to try would be if and when the Rangers will be eliminated from playoff contention. In the past I have said Kravtsov and I'll stick by it.

My basis is that aside from Kevin Hayes, what was the other prospect that the Rangers had change positions?

No one has anything to loose by trying anything. But banking on something, which you acknowledge has factually not really happened (and with good reason) is sheer folly.

Why are Rangers fans so obsessed with shoehorning wingers into the C slot?

Lots of time on EA Sports

Because Thomas Pock went on to have a killer career as a wing after he left the NYR.

Kravtsov is the only one you can really throw at center right now if I was forced to make that choice. Laf and KK are struggling as it is and the last thing you want to do is put them in a position they are even less comfortable in. Maybe years down the road when Laf or KK find their games you can see what they're capable at in the center position, but I would rather leave them all where they are right now. We have plenty of pieces to trade to get a decent young center this offseason and I think that's the route management will go.
