If anything, I'd say he'd have a much easier time earning a spot on the LW. However, I don't recall him ever playing the wing -- I think he was always a center.
LW depth: Dubinsky, Wolski (possible buyout), Fedotenko/Prospal (if re-signed), Avery
RW depth: Gaborik, Callahan, Zuccarello, Prust
If he can play LW, I'd be very happy letting him compete with Hagelin, Grachev, Kreider (if signed), etc. for the 2nd/3rd line LW. Still pursue Richards, and assuming Hagelin, Grachev, and Kreider aren't ready for the big leagues out of camp, run with:
Dubinsky - Richards - Gaborik
Immonen - Anisimov - Callahan
Fedotenko - Stepan - Zuccarello
Avery - Boyle - Prust
Christensen/Weise
