Sheldon Keefe on starting William Nylander at center in training camp: “Willy can do whatever he puts his mind to; he is that good, that powerful, that strong”

In the interest of creating versatility in your lineup, is there a scenario where you would use William Nylander at center in a more consistent way?

Keefe: Willy is going to start at center in camp tomorrow. With that being the case, we have considered it. I have talked to Willy about it. Tre and I have talked a lot through the offseason about it.

Willy has moved to center at different times since I have been here. Moving from wing to center is a lot more difficult on the fly than moving from center to wing.
