I thought he is a winger? Or are they swapping sides
I can see the point in at least trying it out, but he likes to cut into the middle or pull up and have the open cross pass lane. As a LW he will be forced to beat defensemen using his speed and that’s not really his strength. Curious how it goes
I think when it’s all said and done the 3 winger combo’s we’ll see stick will be Tippett/TK Foerster/Michkov Farabee/Brink. I’m glad they’re giving everyone a look together and shuffling things during preseason though
