And, you need at least one great passer on that line who can get Harju the puck in scoring areas to use his shot.
Whether Harju does that at center or wing, I think he can do it at either position. If you use him at center, you capitalize on his faceoff skills.
I think the days of shutdown centers are at a close, so I agree with Tim that you hope Harju can help you develop a third scoring line.

I'd like to see at least one proven player on our third line. Maybe proven is the wrong word, but someone reasonably predictable. Don't care if he's a center or a wing. Glad to know Harju can play either position. Here's what I'm thinking for our forward lines ...
St. Louis-Stamkos-Downie
Malone-Lecavalier-Free Agent
Purcell-Harju-Free Agent
Thompson/Szczechura/Konopka/Jones/Fedoruk
