The conversation was about acquiring Kadri, and specifically my argument that the Flames need a winger and not a 3rd centre, and you posted about converting a centre to a winger. The logical inference is that you were talking about Kadri.

No need to pidgeon hole players just because they are C's...but as stated, its way easier to move from C to wing when needed (Bennett) than it is to move a winger to C because the defensive responsibilities are entirely different.
So you address the lack of scoring depth on RW by moving Jankowski there? Not nearly good enough, and I don't see the Flames dipping into the free agent pool again to address that problem.
