Wonder if it would be McCann or Chucky at 2C if Sid misses a game or two.
From Rossi's latest article in The Athletic:
But it’s clear that in a worst-case scenario — the Penguins opening the regular season without Crosby, Galchenyuk and Rust — Sullivan would not hesitate to slot Jared McCann behind Malkin on the depth chart at center [Rossi's words]
“(Saturday night) was a perfect example of where we needed somebody to move into the center-ice position, and Jared McCann can go in there and he’s perfectly comfortable,” Sullivan said.
“He’s a natural center. He’s pretty good in the faceoff circle. I actually thought he had a better game when we moved him to center.”
