Many were discouraged by Marc Bergevin's end-of-season press conference, when he said that Alex Galchenyuk "may never be a centre." However, those concerns were all for naught, as Bergevin announced during the annual golf tournament that Galchenyuk was going to play centre this season. This seems to signal that his development is complete in the eyes of the brass, and he is now ready to assume his rightful place.
During the 2014-15 season, Galchenyuk received a 13-game audition at centre while David Desharnais was struggling. The experiment produced some exciting hockey, and seemed to demonstrate that he has what it takes to play down the middle.
