Because he played RW before being drafted into the OHL:

He's considered the most physically mature player in the draft at six-two, 195-pounds fitting the Petes' need for size. He's an exceptional skater with a tremendous shot and scoring touch. While he played right wing this season, he is a left shot which means he could easily move to left wing which is an area the Petes need to shore up behind Matt Puempel.

Also we are not talking about moving a winger to center. We are talking about switching sides.
