Odds of him playing center in the NHL are pretty slim being drafted as a winger based on history of this happening. A lot of centers drafted end up playing wing in the NHL but the list of wingers at draft that go on to be centers is short like defensemen converted to forwards or vice-versa. Last top player I can recall was Giroux who was a RW and Flyers converted him to center and I’m sure there may be some depth players that may have converted but it’s not very common at all.
