I don't know about that one.
Lindholm was converted to a full time C in 2020 when he was 24/25.
Bennett was converted to a full time C with FLA in 2021 when he was 25.
Lundell didn't play C in his first 2 seasons. He started playing C last year at the age of 22.
Greig is playing wing in OTT this season after playing C last year, he's 22.
Pretty sure Giroux started as a RW.
Anyway I'm sure there's plenty of examples of good centers learning the ropes on the wing to start their NHL career.
