It's one reason why it is so very hard to find centres, if it was as simple was converting skilled wingers to the middle - every team would do it.
Wasn't Drouin a center before this year thoough?

Personally, I have my doubts whether either MacKinnon or Drouin are optimal NHL centers and not better wingers though.
