Not an Avs fan myself, but his good FO% doesn't equate to him being a good center. Yes, he is a very capable faceoff guy, but he is a winger

He takes faceoffs on left side (since MacK is right shot) and then switching back to wing position in the play. Faceoffs are the only reason he is listed as C anywhere (here, fantasy hockey, etc.). He is not a center.

Not an Avs fan, but Benn can play centre very well, as well as he can play winger. He’s god on faceoffs, but this year he really proved that he can play the centre position all together.

Regarding Landy I’m pretty sure he’s more of a Giroux type of player that steps in for faceoffs when he’s needed. At least that’s what I’ve heard from Avs fans.

He is not and never will be a center. Anyone who tells you otherwise because COL has players take FO's on their strong side isn't worth listening too.

Dal fans like "dear god, please take Benns contract away so we can keep our staked Dcore.
