It’s a great opportunity for him, he’s played there most of his career and I’m giving him that opportunity as something I think he deserves,” Coach Julien said of Seguin centering Jagr and Marchand during pregame skate. “So, we’ll see how it goes, and if not then coaches will do what they do, they adjust.”
“It’s going to be a little different for him; he’s not on the wall right now, he’s going to have go down low in support and he’s going to have to cover a little bit more territory, something that we all know Bergy does extremely well.”
“He’s got some big shoes to fill, we don’t expect him to fill them, but we expect him to go out there and do a decent job like everybody else. We have the confidence he can skate and more responsibility means a chance to get better as a player and mature as a guy that you can put it in different situations.”

The point is that Seguin hasn't been playing Centre because there hasn't been a spot open for him, not that they converted him because he is better on the wing, at least not yet. So using him as an example of a failed centre isn't fair.
