Even full-time middle-six Cs like Kadri, Bennett, and Jarnkrok that are known for perpetually being bad at FOs are at least 10 percentage points better in the dot.
It looks like Coleman regularly played C in NJ at the start of his career with better success (42% lifetime win-rate on 1275 FOs). It might be worth giving him a try at C with Huberdeau and keep Sharangovich at RW if Huska is willing to break-up the Backlund line.

OT but until the last 3 years Kadri’s FO numbers were fine. But he gets thrown out a lot now. I wonder if he was getting away with something before that is being caught now.
I do think FO is something most players can improve on if they work at it. There’s no real physical innate skill aside from maybe quickness.
