It is always a bit tough to say at this point. For instance, Drouin was pushed to wing last year in order to play with MacKinnon. In Tampa's training camp, they pushed him back to center as they liked him more there. On the flip-side, Huberdeau was always a center, but then got switched by Florida to wing as they felt he made for a better winger than a center.
I wouldn't hold my breath on Dal Colle being switched to center either, but he might with Laughton gone.
