The Columbus Blue Jackets have built one of the best young defensive corps in the NHL, however at the same time, scoring appears to be at a premium. One of the most productive players on the offensive side of the ice has been defenseman Zach Werenski. Werenski’s uber-offensive style of play has led to some questionable positioning on some odd-man rushes by the opposing team, however would playing him at forward be a realistic possibility?
A note before we continue, this is by no means a suggestion that he should be moved to forward; it is only a hypothetical question as to whether or not it would work.
