He's not a centre. Right now, he's behind Huberdeau, Coleman, Zary, Mangiapane, on the wing. And maybe Pospisil as well. And if you say Zary should be a centre, then Sharangovich should be a winger.

Dube level? Not even remotely close. You need to actually watch the kid play. He's buried in a lineup, and like Sharahgovich, just needs opportunity. People talk like he's some aging veteran and not a 22 year old who is actually four months younger than Zary. He's also a natural RW so rather than trying to go with an off wing player on the starboard side you get someone that can handle the pucks on that side of the ice. If we are looking at actual positions where players should be, Huberdeau, Coleman, Zary, and Mangiapane are all left shots so should be deployed on the left side where they have played most of their careers. But keep throwing out names. We shouldn't try and bring in players that have a natural advantage in the position they play. Better to keep forcing players over to their off wing. That worked so well with so many players in the past!
