Maybe it's a dumb question, but why not play Cammalleri as a center? Didn't he play that position earlier in his career? Though winger seems to fit his

Default Cammalleri as a center?

Maybe it's a dumb question, but why not play Cammalleri as a center? Didn't he play that position earlier in his career? Though winger seems to fit his style better, I think it would solve some of our problems, with a top-six of:
Brown/Kopi/Sully
Fro/Cammi/Purcell

He seems to be good in the face-off circle as well, the only question mark I have is his defensive ability (could be a pretty big question mark).

Centers need to play defense, Cammy can't seem to do that as it is.

I think Mikey's got too much on his plate as it is, what with the early tee times and all.

If a trade doesn't happen and he's still on the team to start the season, you could play Matt Moulson alongside since he's a winger that's fairly solid in defensive coverage. It would put Moulson in a role similar to O'Sullivan's -- a defensive security blanket that allows the other forwards on the line to take a few more chances.

Centers are generally required to do something more than wait to be fed the puck in the slot.

If this season is anything to go by; Moulson would end up playing center and wing on the same line then...alot to ask of a younger player...Hopefully this season was the aberration and not the season before.

Moulson can only play wing so you won't have that to worry about.

You know, I wouldn't really mind if they kept a Manchester scoring line intact by having Moulson, Boyle, and Purcell on a line together. I know this might raise some hackles because of the comparison, but it worked out pretty well for the Penner, Getzlaf, and Perry combination.
