Sujet: surprisingly difficult read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Slimycoldcutswork</b></div><div>I'm not entirely opposed to that if he continues to have faceoff struggles, but I think that would be a bad move to look at him as a wing in the long term. hes truly gifted when it comes to neutral zone play, and carrying pucks into the offensive zone. you want that to be happening from the middle of the ice, or you sort of squander the advantage since it typically means cutting the ice in half rather than 3rds when defenses have to assess and triage scoring threats. for example, thats was a big factor whenever hall (and therefore the entire top line) got into bad dryspells.

in part, that is also why miles wood is practically useless, unless the rare situation arises where he actually converts on a breakaway or manages to make a decent pass back to the middle of the ice. conversely i dont think it is a coincidence that mcdavid and barzal are almost irreplaceable when it comes to their ability to generate offense off of clean entries.</div></div>

Agreed, I think Hughes could excel at center but for the Devils, he would fit on the wing, especially with Nico at center and Palms at wing. He played center his whole career but could do better at wing due to his poor defense and faceoffs. Speaking of Wood, we should pay a fourth for Seattle to take him.
