Probably the best example is Red Kelly, who was outstanding at both defense and centre - I think he even won a Norris trophy before being moved to centre. Brent Burns is also a good modern example. For the Flames, probably the most successful example was Paul Reinhart, who was often moved from defense to centre during playoffs.
