Can you switch wood floor panels?
My dining room has a section/strip of badly scratched hard wood flooring thanks to a horrible contractor who dragged all our new kitchen appliances over the floor surface. Would it be possible to swap the damaged panels with better ones which are currently in the middle of the floor? I will be covering the area with a nice oriental rug so the condition of the floor in the center of the room does not matter as much.
The part that is currently damaged will still be visible--it will not be covered by the rug.

You really have to replace it if it does not look good. It’s not that simple though, but can be done. Be sure to replace it with the appropriate flooring type so that it will be properly installed. If you hire someone to install make sure he knows what he’s doing and if you are going to do it yourself read guidelines on installing wood floorings.

Why bother if you’re going to cover it anyway?

You can but I doubt it would be worth the trouble.
You can fill, sand, restain and apply poly much cheaper and easier.
You would be much better off talking to the floor installers if possible.
