What do people think about the Flyers moving him to LW?

I thought he was going to be a playmaking lefty RW, kind of like Jagr.
If there is a way for the Flyers to mess up the development and use of a player, one can count on Tortorella to do it. We all know that he is a genius /s. There's no way that he wants to go into next season on the last year of his contract without an extension. One of the main themes of this season will be what Tortorella is trying to do so that he can to secure his future with the organization. It could cause some serious damage.

I'm not going to dismiss it out of hand, but I feel like they should start him in the position in which he demonstrated elite level talent in the first place.

The STG interview with Briere, Jones, and Hilfery threw some cold water on the Michkov center experiment for now:

- Bundy asked if Michkov would be a center for the Flyers

- Briere said it's a good question, they haven't really thought about it nor are they looking to make a change. Nowadays wingers are the ones creating the offense while centers support down low. It will be easier to unlock a player offensively starting out on the wing.

- Jones expresses excitement by noting that Michkov can play either wing

The best part of the interview was Bundy saying that Hextall told him not to hype up Gostisbehere when he had that point streak as a rookie. :laugh:
