The Sharks just recently moved Hertl back to the wing, I still don't understand the Flames reluctance to even try this for a game or two.

if I remember correctly it was a lot of versteeg there with 3m and then bennett/brouwer
Lacking centre depth is I think the reason they are so reticent to move Bennett back to the wing.
Bennett as a winger means you're probably playing stajan 14-16 minutes a night instead of the 10-22 he's getting now. That isn't ideal.
"Ya, but janko!" You say to which I respond what if you graduate janko and it doesn't work like it's not working with Bennett? The other aspect is roster spots and cap space.
It's the quality of centres that is the problem for the flames, not necessarily the amount.
