At end of day Sharp was better at wing
But when you have no viable #2C option it didn't make sense not playing Sharp there at least until viable alternatives arrived in Handzus and Richards but they were stopgaps (Successful stopgaps)
Failure to add a viable #2C has been problem for Hawks for a while
I could have sworn Sharp centered Hossa and Brouwer in 09-10.
He was especially in finals
Brouwer issues (I believe his father) caused him to miss some games during playoffs
But in finals it was Brouwer-Sharp-Hossa
I never recall Versteeg at C ever
Kopecky was moved from C to wing often in pinch or in event of injury thru lineup
