As Ryan Johnson, director of player development for the Vancouver Canucks and as the general manager for the Utica Comets said in the interview today during the game, Johnson believes Elias Pettersson controls the game much better when he plays centre. Johnson, in his professional opinion of which his career is made up of, states that EP when playing wing doesn't control the game nearly as much and he is much better when playing centre.
If Ryan Johnson believes EP should start in the NHL as a centre then I believe the professional has spoken and has the appropriate call on EP.
Posters who feel differently then this professional NHL director of player development are simply wrong.
