He played wing last year occasionally.

Hell no! Can you imagine? That'd be like going from the Ritz to the Motel 6 and making less money. Even if you're a native Russian, I can't imagine why a 22 year old would leave the NHL. Datsyuk was at least in his late 30's. Ask Radulov where he'd rather be? Lol.

You're right. He actually might start the season on the Wing, now that I think about it. Zajac is still their best defensive Center and will get the toughest matchups and a lot of ice time. Nico-Hughes-Zajac-Zacha...not really enough ice time to share if they all play Center.
