I'm concerned we'll pull a boston and convert him to wing. He needs to play centre.

Therrien says he's a center. DD will go to the wing before AGally does
Pretty sure Eller will move to W before DD due to him playing it in the NHL a lot.

Yea Eller established himself as an upcoming two way top 6 center this year, while Galchenyuk clearly was better on the wing where didn't have the same defensive responsibilities.
I think next year we the centerman as so:
Plekanec (two way #1)
Eller (two way #2)
Desharnais (offensive #3)
White/Dumont (gritty #4)
Then plug in the wings around them, including:
Ryder
Gionta
Galchenyuk
Pacioretty
Gallagher
Bourque
Prust
Moen
I'd have it look like this:
Ryder-Plekanec-Gionta (veteran top 6)
Glachenyuk-Eller-Gallagher (emerging top 6)
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Bourque (offensive third line)
Moen-White/Dumont-Prust
Eller is done playing wing. Alex can play anywhere right now. I'd rather he stays with Eller because they work well. That line altogether should get tougher minutes.
Injured last year... so he responds this year by;
Finishing 4th on his OHL team in scoring DESPITE only playing half the games.
Wins a gold medal at the World Juniors.
Makes an NHL team.
Sticks with an NHL team.
Makes the NHL playoffs.
Wins a bronze medal at the World Championships.
Bad year for Galchenyuk.
This ****ing title should be renamed ****ing spoiler edition.
You walked into the Galchenyuk thread and had no idea people would be talking about the bronze medal game?
Okay then.
Ah, fair enough. Makes sense. I changed the OP's title - sorry that it was ruined for you.No, I just accidentally saw the title, the title is the spoiler, I had no interest in reading the thread.
