Would love it if he was a right wing. Unfortunately, the guy has played LW in his career, which we are quite deep in. Most of the Russian snipers play their off wing (aka Ovechkin, Kucherov, Semin), so we would have to hope Kovalchuk is ok playing the opposite side. Another option would be to move Gaudreau to the right side like in the World Cup last year, but that could mess with the proven chemistry between him and Monahan.
