Stop Putting Bergeron on Wing in your lineups... He will be playing Center. You might see Carter on Getzlaf;s line taking draws at times. But.. You have to have good FO guys, especially in your own zone. Tavares will be wing due to his lack of FO ability compared to others.
Nothing is stopping him from still taking draws if he plays on the wing with Toews and Sharp.

In fact the fact that Toews line will be on for important defensive zone draws it isn't a bad idea to have both guys out in case one gets tossed or if there is a preference for one side of the ice or other for the draws.

I think Bergeron will rotate on that line and possibly others but think that having him with Toews and Sharp to face the Sisters line and AO/Malkin line is much more valuable than worrying about FO's that he can go take no matter what line he is on.
