Zetterberg at C

[veronesepk]

Babcock had a nice little blurb about Datsyuk and Zetts centering the top two lines instead of playing on the first list together:

\'Red Wings coach Mike Babcock confirmed he\'s breaking up Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.

Instead of playing on the same line, Datsyuk and Zetterberg will center the top two lines.

\"Not maybe -- for sure,\" Babcock said Wednesday. \"They\'re not playing together. It would be crazy to play them together. They both want to play center anyway.\"\'

I wonder if this spells the end of Zetts\' LW eligibility? It probably won\'t make a difference this year, but maybe the next?

Good catch - I\'d try to unload Zetts as a winger ASAP.

Why? He\'s still going to break 90 points.

If anything it makes him more valuable if he has a double position. As a centre he\'s top 10 as a left wing he\'s top 3.
So if you play Yahoo and positions count, and he\'s your number two LW after and frees you up to grab a 2nd tier C you are way ahead of grabbing a 2 tier LW.

Like for instance it\'s the difference between a Briere C 72P or Gomez C 70P verse a Kunitz LW 50P or Stillman LW 65P.
