Bonk, a leftwing or a center?

[ch_nl]

I was just surfig the same old hockey sites and read about our newest aqusition. Radek Bonk. Many places him as a left wing. I'd always tought of him as a center.

So, what the deal? Does he prefer center or leftwing?

If he will play leftwing I can think of him on both the first, second and third line.

1. Bonk - Koivu - Kovalev

2. Bonk - Ribeiro - Ryder

3. Bonk - Perreault - ?

Center. Unquestionablely!!!

He's a centre, we brought him in to be the 3rd line centre.

Who told you? Has Julien said anything I've missed?

He is a center, but I would love to see him play second line and experiment with Ribs at LW and Ryder at RW.

The way I see it, unless Koivu goes down with injury, he is for certain our #1 center...

after that, we all know Riebiro won't be a defence first type of player, so i figure he would play center on our second line.

Bonk, seems best fit for 3rd line, because he is that much of a role player, and can handle himself well in the defensive zone. The difference is, unlike Juneau (nothing against him, i luv him for playing with his heart)... Bonk WILL be able to put some points up on the board. as he is still in his prime, even thought sum bad seasons with Ottawa.
