Fair to assume that in reality Turcotte will probably shift to the wing?Yeah, Kings have three potential 1C’s in Byfield, Turcotte, and Vilardi, and one actual 1C in Kopitar.
Not comparing the players, but the Leafs had Matthews, Nylander and Marner all drafted around the same time, with all three considered C's to a certain extent. Matthews was 100% always a C, Marner and Nylander I believe played it a bit before being drafted (drafted as C/RW) and were shifted to the wings in the NHL given that the Leafs had Kadri and then Matthews.
