Ovechkin - Kuznetsov - Wilson
Vrana - Backstrom - Oshie
Hagelin - Eller - McMichael
Leipsic/Panik - Dowd - Hathaway
Backstrom and Kuznetsov are both signed until 2025 and Eller is signed until 2023 so is McMichael going to be a Center in the Pros or is there a chance Kuznetsov gets moved to a wing at some point?
I wouldn’t worry about it, you can never have too many good centres. Worst case scenario, he becomes a winger at the NHL level. Best case scenario, he takes the path of so many other great players and learns the NHL game at the wing before forcing the trade of Kuznetsov.
There’s no reason to make room for him, outside of ensuring a spot in the top-9 as every team should do for incoming top prospects, until he forces your hand.
