No. I don't think he ever played the position and it's a lot more technical than fwd. I have no clue how well he skates backwards.
Quite a few d-men coverted to fwd (Buf). I always thought they should try Housely at centre.
Burns is the only guy I know who made a good transition the other way. A few goons have been used that way but I don't know why (McSorely).
