Description

Grouped some tiers/clusters of how I view 1Cs around the league (includes 1Bs) If I missed a guy, probably forgot or I just didn't feel they belonged. Please don't get into that 'elite' debate- not the purpose of me doing this.
- Pretty easy to separate McDavid and Mackinnon so there's tier 1
- Next I grouped the top Centre who I feel are all in the same grouping- superstars, hart trophy candidates but just not quite at McDavids and Mackinnon level. Stammer, Tavares, Bergeron, Toews, Kopitar probably could be seen there in the past, but I don't view them up there anymore. I could see Barzal, Petterson and Point join that group in the next year or two but I'm pretty set with it.
- I had a hard time separating the 3rd tier so I just decided to group the young elite guys together who are viewed as their team's franchise centre and then just a consensus group of elite #1 centres. Zibanejad was tough to separate here, he did pop 41g in 57 games but I don't just see him in that Franchise centre group yet since it he missed a decent amount of games and this was his first full breakout year. I also left Hischier out of it, he's young and hasn't proved as much as the other guys in that group- he went to tier 5 "very good". Larkin was a tough call since DRW suck, think he'd be viewed there with a contender.
- Tier 4 is just well known elite centres around the league- pretty standard stuff.
- Tier 5 are all very good centres- not a bonafide 1C but good enough to lead a first line. Didn't know where to put Getzlaf so threw him there.

Larkin isn't elite. If you have Scheifele in the young elite, you can put Couturier in, they're both 27.

Crosby yes, the rest no.

I think you could put R.Johansson and N.Backstrom in the “recognized elite centers” or atleast “very good centers” category. And I don’t think Zibs is the same as that group of Centers.
