Well the coaching staff has been experimenting with Gaudreau on the RW. So if Tkachuk can't play RW then Gaudreau probably can. I don't think it would be a big issue. Tkachuk's style of game would fit that line very well.

Tkachuk on LW with Bennett? Sure. But then their RW is probably playing the off wing if its Colborne or Ferland who are both left shooters. Tkachuk's style of game would fit that line as well.

Any way you slice it we've got lefties playing the RW as Colborne, Frolik, Ferland, and Gaudreau have all played their off wing at times this year. Like I said it's a problem for the coaches. I don't think the scouts and GM's will be selecting players based on LW/RW or left shooters/right shooters.
