I think

I shall maintain that dealing for a 2C with term, the Sens are committing Stützle to the wing, which would be an colossal error.

They need to see if he can play the position first. They will know after testing driving the idea this season if he can make that transition or not.

Given the strength of the division, it's unlikely the Sens make the playoffs (but I see hanging around the mix for a while), so experiment with it so that an informed and, shall I say better, long term solution can be made.

He can’t defend yet , I wouldn’t throw him at centre

I said test drive. To see of he can. I would be looking for a shorter term solution. 1-2 years left on the term so on the chance he can, Stützle can transition without the Sens hold the bag on a contract they won't need to carry.

The more I read your $hit, the more impre$$ed I get.

This comment isn't limited to this post. You're having quite a day today.

I truly think the Sens have officially committed permanently to Stutzle at wing. When they first drafted him, they said he will get reps at centre his first season but he didn’t. I don’t think they see him playing the centre spot in the nhl
