[JVR at Center is Going to Happen, Isn't It? - Cam Charron at The Leafs Nation](http://theleafsnation.com/2012/7/12/james-van-riemsdyk-at-centre-is-going-to-happen-isnt-it?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> If you look at most of JvR's goals, you don't see that play-controlling ability. Rather, much of his goals are a big guy using his size and strength in front of the net. It's certainly a good talent to have, but is this the player that Brian Burke and Randy Carlyle are really banking on making that first line defensively responsible to guarantee the unit a surplus in goals?

> I just see so many more possibilities when you keep van Riemsdyk at wing. At centre, you're homogenizing the lineup. The Leafs were a 48% possession team without Kessel on the ice last season, and putting your only acquired forward asset with your top scorer isn't changing anything below.

That's how I see it as well. Thoughts? Links after the jump.
