This year at Leafs training camp a highly touted young winger will line up at centre for the Leafs in their ongoing quest to find the elusive #1C.
In December of 2010, his first second season with the Maple Leafs, Phil Kessel was switched to playing C in an attempt to form a better top line than "Phil Kessel skates around all by himself, scores anyway". That experiment lasted all of three games, so the question is:
How long does James van Riemsdyk last playing C in Toronto?
How long will James van Riemsdyk play centre for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
| 3 Games or Less | 88 |
| Between 4 and 10 Games | 198 |
| Between 10 and 30 Games | 153 |
| 30 Games or More | 87 |
