They wanted to move Zegras to the wing but with the Krieder trade and Gauthier they had no room.

Gauthier was drafted as a center and played that position the majority of the time in College, but yeah I don't disagree with what you're saying. The Ducks have a good problem with a wealth of talent down the middle. Gauthier played left wing last year and had great chemistry with Leo Carlsson.
The idea that the Ducks are "grooming" a 21 year old 3rd overall pick who just finished with 22 goals and 52 points is... foolish.
