Sharp has not played Center all season. For a good portion he was with JT and Kane.
last night was the first time this playoff series he had Sharp at Center. While I agree with you I'd like a true Center, which Sharp isn't, Q is an idiot for not playing him there earlier instead of Frolik who is even MORE not a Center than Sharp.
I'd like a true 2nd line Center which Sharp is NOT. But if that option is not available Sharp will work as a "bandaid".
Sharp has not been playing Center all year though. Which is one of the problems with Q IMO. He can play center but I do not want a player playing Center who doesn't feel comfortable there.
Similar to Hossa and Kane on the same line. They both are COMFORTABLE on the right side because they are both left handed. Coaches just can't change that on a whim. It doesn't work that way.
So I agree and disagree with what Pez is saying.
Took the 4th most faceoffs on the team close enough to all season for me. Is he better at it than Frolik? Yes but is no 2nd line center and you are correct, he is a bandaid and the best option we have but we need to fix that in the off season.
