Obviously 2 Norris Dmen.

70 point centers is too vague, Norris gets to the point.

Now if it were Franchise defining/building centers?

Because that's a wash.

Yea true.


Changed it to 80.

Norris Dmen tend to be top 5 players in the NHL. Easily them.

Crosby and Malkin vs. Neidermayer and Pronger.

Belong where?

All of Malkin, Crosby and Pronger were the best hockey players on the planet at one point. Niedermayer was never close to that level. He is a clear tier below the other 3.

Do you know who Neidermayer is?

Yea a great player and HoF defenceman who won a lot of cups and played with team Canada. Never the best hockey player on the planet.

tell me the season when Niedermayer was the best player on the planet

I think C > D generally, but being able to have 50 minutes of the game with a Norris guy on the ice sure sounds nice.

You appear to be out of your element here.

Ignoring things such as age, contracts and all, just looking at it who would I rather have for this year I would take the centers. I just am not a fan of Burns

Niedermeyer is pretty overrated from an all time stand point, I agree he doesnt belong in that comparison with the other 3.

Norris dmen are harder to find I think than a forward so I would take them, plus D can play 30 mins a night. Having a Norris quality defender at all times in a playoff game would be tough to beat. I also think dmen can impact the offense moreso than a center can impact the defensive play

So like Kuznetsov and Seguin, or Doughty and Karlsson? It’s the dmen in a landslide. Drop the 80 point part and it’s a lot more interesting

The poll is clearly meant to be Tavares + Matthews versus Karlsson + Burns.

Karlsson and Burns

The most overrated player of all time.

Also you can be really really good while still being overrated.

Since this is just a way to post another Matthews & Tavares vs Karlsson & Burns poll, I'm legit asking aren't there valid reasons for players at both positions? I have heard various Hockey experts say finding elite #1 centres is not that easy and most of the time you need to draft them and they rarely become UFA's, with Tavares being the exception to that.
