I don't see them moving Nimmo out of center for Acuna either as he's signed through 2030.
My guess is that Acuna is ultimately trade bait for another player, which isn't a bad thing either.

I'm fine with trade bait as well. Sometimes you just get the best talent you can, and figure out how the pieces fit afterwards.
