I don’t think I’d classify RNH as a centre, at this point.

I know I may be overrating but I feel like a reasonable case could be made for Nick Suzuki. He finished just 54th in points for centers (according to NHL's positions), but he was also averaging 15:59 TOI a night which is the 9th lowest of any player over 40 points. Adjust for TOI and he's a 50 point player which puts him 33rd at scoring for all centers.

Danault's about 12 spots too high. Malkin and Couturier could swap spots and even then Couturier should probably be a few spots lower. I'd put Point/Barkov/Bergeron/Zibanejad above Pettersson for sure right now too (all are just as good or better offensively and better defensively).

lmao i appreciate it, and I hate cirelli lmao but gotta admit hes a good defensive player smile
My favorite thing on this site is when people are able to put their own feelings aside for reality.

Yall can hate the bruins but admitting Coyle should make the list makes me happy, and I hate cirelli but he is on this list and above Coyle easy

Sure but he's not a 2C on 50% of the teams in the league. The only 3C that can justifiably be on this list is Pageau

Also why is Giroux on here? he's a winger that takes right handed faceoffs for Couturier.

Kopitar, Getzlaf, E. Staal, Stastny? Hell I'm taking Domi and D. Strome over Kerfoot in a heartbeat too. Maybe even Haula, Stepan, or Tierney. Dach and Hischier are both better as well

All of what you said is wrong. He was THE 2C on the Wild, he would be the 2C on many other teams (OTT, LAK, MTL, NYI, just to name a few). He is much better than Pageau ... (these are both facts, I am not being biased which is what I suspect you are gonna say to defend yourself after you realize I am right about both of those things.

Cuz he is and always has been a natural Center. If he stopped playing center this year fine, but never has he ever been anything else lol

Huh? I didnt even make a single comment about my team here, also my dislike for Marchand has nothing to do with your bad takes. Also Im apparently a "known Leaf hater" not a Bruins hater, at least get your false accusations right. In reality i don't care for the Bruins or Leafs, the teams I genuinely dislike are the Oilers, Avs and Pens.

Post 1. Pageau proved last year he is a legitimate player caplable of playing top 6. Just because Coyle did play 2C at a point does not make him better now, I and many others would take Pageau over him. That does not make him a bad 3C though, consider it this way there are 31 teams in the league and this is a top 46 list. That means your 3C would have to be better than at least 16 2C's around the league. Sure hes better than Detroits, LA's (for now), and maybe Ottawa's but he's definitely bot better than NYI's or Montreal's. Thats just silly, you really think Coyle's better than Danault and Nelson?

Not to mention I even named some centers that should be on this list that aren't (ie Kopitar).

*Edit* after looking into it, Coyle was always the 3rd most played center in Minnesota behind Staal and Koivu (4th if you include Granlund). So no, he wasnt the 2C there and his top 6 role was usuallyon the wing

Post 2. Giroux hanst played the center role in over 3 years, taking face offs does not make you a center, but fine if you want him to count where are Stamkos, Benn, Marchessault, Huberdeau, and Wheeler?
