He gets the toughest match-ups and gets buried on defensive zone starts. He would put up more points in a different role. (Patrice Bergeron is a guy with a similar profile)
Also assuming you are using NHL.com positions, I'm sure there are a lot of non-centres listed as centres (Keller, Barzal, Marner, Eberle take very few face-offs for example)
