With so many centers on the roster this season, who’s going to actually play center, and who’s going to be moved to the wing? Coach Blashill addressed this topic a little bit today in training camp, talking about what position Darren Helm, Riley Sheahan, and Steve Ott may end up playing.
Here are the players listed as centers currently on the roster: Dylan Larkin, Frans Nielsen, Riley Sheahan, Darren Helm, Luke Glendening, and Steve Ott. That’s six centers for four lines, and that list doesn’t even include Andreas Athanasiou, and I believe it should.
So who’s going to play center this season?
