Queneville said he can play all three forward positions but used Frolik almost exclusively on the wing, ditto for the Jets. The article you posted during his time with the Jets had him at the middle for a brief moments as well. He's a winger. He's no more a center then Jiri Hudler and Joe Colborne are. Two guys who've lined up down the middle but aren't very good at it.
When I say a player can or cannot play a position I mean with success. Yeah Frolik can line up at center but he obviously can't do it with any sustained success and has found an NHL job on the wing. My expectations of positions are more than "He's played here rarely over the last 6-7 years".
Glad we cleared that up.
