Anthony Petrielli on Sportsnet 590 The Fan discussing William Nylander at center, Tomas Plekanec’s adjustment, Ron Hainsey and Nikita Zaitsev’s recent play & more

On whether William Nylander should be playing center with Auston Matthews out:

If you really look at it, what do they have to lose? They’re going to make the playoffs. They’re pretty much locked into that third spot. Nylander played center for a year in the AHL. He came up and played center in his first stint there where he played 20 or so games and he looked good at center. And then they just happened to win the lottery and they drafted a superstar, so they put him on his wing.

But he can play center.
