Well that's what is being recommended here. Put him at C, give him the time, and if he doesn't show any improvement then you move him to wing
The way I see it, it's much easier to find a good winger than a good center. The habs are not going anywhere this year so let's invest that time with him at center. If the worst case scenario happens and he can't get his game back, then it's probably better to part ways for both parties.
Besides, it's not like he's getting in anyone's way if he stays at center.... not like there is a young plekanec in the lineup that would make me think differently about this situation.
