Drouin is better in the dot??? He's so good that when he was playing center his wingers took draws for him.
And it's not "one bad year", he has NEVER demonstrated he can play center in any league since junior.
This idea of " well let's just play him at position X out of need" presumed that the positions are all functionally interchangeable. They are not.
You want players to reach their potential, put them in a position where they can leverage their specific s.trengths to succeed. For Drouin, that's on the wing.
What's next trying lolzner or Benn at center? They both have exactly one half NHL season less experience at that position than Drouin.
And Domi is a winger.
You are saying Drouin has never demonstrated he can play center in any league since junior not because he has been poor when given opportunities but because he hasn't had any. There is a difference!
Wow is that bad..
It actually doesn't look that bad to me outside of the center depth. Certainly potential for surprise. Maybe not.
