That's why there was the push by management to have Z on Datsyuk's wing in recent history. The extra demands of playing center do seem to take away from his goal production and many say it wears him out for the playoffs.

I think he's looked really good this year. I'm not too worried about him not scoring as long as Larkin's there to finish. He's still leading the team in points. If Larkin looks able to center the 2nd line, it could be good to reunite Dats and Z if we want Z to score.

I think Larkin would be centering his own line already if he was decent at face offs

It's time for Z to just lead and play a secondary role. He has Larkin now to put the puck in the net. This is much like Yzerman in his older years. He gave up the goal scoring to other and focused on setups and D. He was still a threat on the ice as well. You see that Larkin is leading the team in goals now.
