Who would you rather they play there?
They clearly think Zary is an NHL winger, Pospisil probably looked even less effective there, and neither Kirkland or Rooney should be in a top 9 role.
Sharangovich has probably looked more effective at center than the other options, and also took some time getting back to speed after his injury.
Edit: And the underlying numbers at 5v5 for Huberdeau + Sharangovich are really good - it's the finishing that's struggled and he's had a lot of missed chances individually.
Corsi For: 62.50%
Shots For: 65.9%
HDCF: 66.7% (10 FOR / 5 against)
xGF: 62.14%
GF: 33% (1 For / 2 Against)
On Ice Shooting: 3.23%
On Ice Save%: .875
Faceoff: 50% (32/64)
Honestly there is no reason to move him from Center right now. The chances just haven't been going in yet.
