Now that you say that, I remember him in his rookie year (maybe the first couple) playing C as well as defense.
IIRC, Housley was one of the first people drafted directly out of US high school and he was a beautiful skater but tiny for an NHL defenseman. So they tried him at C.
Anyway, converting from forward to D is immeasurably harder than the reciprocal.
