I think that was always the long term plan.
It's a tough situation when you have a kid who is too good to go back to junior but might not be ready to play centre in the NHL vs guys like Getzlaf, Kopitar, etc. And you can't shelter them from match ups unless you're at home. Even Joe Thornton started on the wing on the 4th line in his first year.
Now that the season is lost the coaches can start teaching young Benny how to be an NHL centre.
