Which 4 centers would you stack your team with for a playoff run at their peaks?
In order
Sakic
Forsberg
Crosby
Malkin
Fedorov
Yzermen
Zetterberg
Datysuk
So I pick Sakic Forsberg Fedorov Yzermen . Sakic 88 goals. 19 GW including 8 ot goals. Very hard to ignore those stats. Yzermen is a little lower because most of the other players were playoff performer almost there whole careers maybe except Datysuk. Yzermen was playoffs performer only after 1997. Yzermen is not even a ppg in the Playoffs and is a minus player as well.
OP says peak so career stats mean nothing. Based on a full peak season I'd say:
Malkin
Fedorov
Crosby/Forsberg
Datsyuk/Sakic/Yzerman
Zetterberg
You are right. So it will be
Malkin
Sakic
Forsberg
Crosby
Zetterberg
Fedorov
Yzermen
Datysuk
Very curious to hear why you have Sakic ahead of Forsberg and Crosby? And in general I think he's the most overrated player on hf, but Fedorov's 94 peak season is arguably the best from these players.. Not sure why you have him so far down?

Crosby > Sakic
Malkin = Forsberg
Datsyuk = Fedorov
Zetterberg < Yzerman
Pretty close but I think the gap between Yzerman and Zetterberg is bigger than the gap between Crosby and Sakic. But on the other hand, Crosby+Malkin can focus on offense while Datsyuk and Zetterberg can give 2 shutdown lines. In the 1st group there's really only Fedorov as a pure shutdown guy, I wouldn't want 1 of Sakic/Forsberg/Yzerman as a 4C.
So I think the Sakic group is slightly better in a vacuum, but the Crosby group would be better in a matchup sense.. If that makes sense.
Not especially. It gets overblown because he won a Selke. It was not a very strong Hart win unlike Malkin's or Crosby's best seasons. Feds was never close to putting up the offensive playoff numbers that the other players put up save for Datysuk.

Peak Sakic is in the 4th tier after tieing the goal record in the playoffs. I dont get it... He was the best of all of them at his absolute best.
Yeah, are we talking regular season peak or playoff peak?
Because a lot of times those don't coincide.
I was going off RS peak.. Op just said peak so I wasn't sure if it was playoff peak or what lol.
Crosby is the clear best player of the group and the tie-breaker imo.
