At this point, M’Baku Olubori has played all three forward positions during his SHL/SMJHL/IIHF career. He came in as a big strong right winger, but quickly was shifted around the lineup where the team needed him the most. Now he’s settled into being one of the premiere centers in the SHL, leading the team in scoring and the entire SHL in goals currently. He’s shown the ability to play all three forward spots and likely will continue to cash in on that versatility for the surging Platoon. Beyond that, Baku has always given some thought to playing defense. The coaching staff approached him a few seasons ago about that possibility, given his athleticism and summer reps working with one of the SHL’s best two-way defensemen of all time, Cassius Darrow. Taking over the blueline would be a significant change for the Nigerian native, but not one he’s unable to tackle. The shift to center came with a need to read the other team’s setup more and scale back the aggression that was his trademark early on. He can leverage what he learned at center to playing defense as well, while also continuing to showcase his monster shot. The only think Baku can’t (won’t?) do is play goalie. That takes a special breed of person, and not even Baku's that nutty.
