    In the upcoming draft is there a true Winger or is all of the elite talent guys that are going to play Center when they make the NHL. I do not get to see these guys play so I can only go by what people say and everyone refers to them as a Forward so that can mean anything. Can someone please shed some light on this for me please. I am sure Couturier is a Center but what about RNH and Landeskog?

    Couturier plays both. RNH is pure center but may move to wing. Landeskog only plays on the wing. Other top players that play on the wing include Brandon Saad, Joel Armia, Sven Bartschi, Nicklas Jensen, Matt Puempel, Tyler Biggs.

    If you want a pure winger, it's Landeskog.

    Landeskog can play centre as well. He has played some games at C this season and has played it in the past.

    I am interested in this too but I think it is pretty hard to guess where most players end up playing. A few players have skills/size that heavily favour one position but most could be moved depending on where their NHL team has needs. It seems to be the trend that many players how play centre before the NHL end up moving to wing.

    Once we know what team they land on there will be a bit more information on which to speculate.
