High speed straight line skating is more important on the wing.

The analytics have shown that he’s not doing better at centre than anywhere else, and he’s terrible at faceoffs.
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t completely take over the role as early as this season, when it clicks it clicks. But he hasn’t made a strong case for himself yet.
