I think
Mcdavid, Leon, and Mack are the consensus top 3 Centers and top 4 players when you add Makar haha don't know how Point or Crosby are ahead, also now Tage Thompson kinda invalidates this list

Pettersson > Hischier, Barkov, Zibanejad

Crosby is way too high.

Horvat is not a top 20 centre

Mcdavid and drai still have won nothing while point and Sid have a combined 5 cups… as I mentioned in the description I weighed all of that
Also mcdavid has barely ever bothered to play defense…

A healthy Coots is better than a good chunk of this list, everyone forgets he’s a Selke winner and if it wasn’t for Bergeron would probably have multiple. Right now he’s definitely not on the list cause he hasn’t played in 2 years but if he is back to his old self finally this upcoming season he’s 100% a top 25 center

Yeah even as a pens fan I had him around 15-20 range but he’s been hurt so I removed him from the list for now

Yeah that’s definitely fair I would say top 20 not sure about top 15 maybe idk in his prime. As of right now he’s literally just been hurt for 2 years so there is no way to judge anything. I still think he is a low end 1C when he comes back from injury but we will be lucky if he can get back to his old self

Didnt know this list was in 2017 HAHA. Tell crosby congrats on his cups but that doesnt make him a top 5 Centerman now. I think your penguins Bias is showing a bit here.

Based on how well he’s still producing at even strength and contributing defensively I still have him solidly top-5 and I think that opinion is matched around the nhl

Eichel is way too high. He’s definitely not better than Matthews, Pettersson, Hughes, or Barkov. Could also argue Hischier, Hintz, Stutzle, and Tage over him

The top 4 is McDavid 1 then MacKinnon, Matthews, and Draisaitl in any order

Crosby is still great but this isn’t 2017 he’s not top 2. He’s in the 5-8 range

Horvat shouldn’t be here. MAYBE at the end but definitely not as high as he is

Pettersson should be anywhere from 5-9. He’s better than Eichel, Zibanejad, and Hischier and you can argue him over Hughes, Point, Barkov, and Crosby

Would stamkos be considered a winger or do you not think he is in the top 25? Same question for Tavares

Agreed, as scheifele ages and Thomas enters his prime, Thomas will surpass him.

Then you must not be paying attention.

McDavid 64 89 153
Leon 52 76 128
Mac 42 69 111
RNH 37 67 104
Pettersson 39 63 102
Hughes 43 56 99
Point 51 44 95
Tage 47 47 94

He's 8th in points and doesn't belong in a top-25 list? He's 4th in goals and he doesn't belong in a top-25 list?

oooooo kayyy

I believe the person who posted initially forgot Thompson and adjusted the list to include him after that comment
