So he is coachable, tries to play a complete game, and likes being here.
But you have to give to get, and I’d rather him than some of our drafted kids.

One thing with Sharangovich is that IMO he's actually had his best results on the Flames when he played center.
He seems to be a guy that needs puck touches to be engaged and get confidence and he can just kind of become invisible on the wing.
Last year after the Lindholm trade he played center with Kuzmenko and Huberdeau a lot of the time and he had good results.
And then this year his best production was that little stretch when they moved him to center after Zary was injured but before they acquired Frost. (He had some chemistry with Zary and Pelletier before Zary got hurt too).
The organization doesn't seem to see him long term as a center but it's where he's been most effective offensively.
It's also interesting that last year he was also good on the PK with Coleman, but they haven't really played him much on the PK this year. Which actually makes me wonder if he's playing a bit injured too, because with our poor PK this year there is no reason they shouldn't have least tried it again.
