Center size versus skill

[RememberTheRoar]

Would you rather have a 6-3+ center with average speed and puck skill, or a 5-10 or less center with above average speed and puck skill?

Which conference will this player be playing in?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

So, Mikko Koivu or Brayden Point?

This is way too vague a question.

Sure, that’s a fine example

Smaller with skill.

 

[elmaco]

Crosby is 6-0.

I don't care about size directly.

I do greatly prefer a two-way guy that can win puck battles and drive possession, even at the expense of points, out of a center. (Unless we are talking an elite elite scoring C, of course) Sometimes a guy with bigger size will have a better time at that. Sometimes (see Point) it doesn't really matter.

So I can't really answer the question. I want a Corsi friendly kind of guy at center and wingers that can finish and take advantage of the possession advantage.

yep, and i take point all day

If they are the same defensively than for sure smaller and above average skill.

 

[Machinehead]

The better player, every minute of every day.

This poll is pointless without any clear idea of what the skill gap is and other factors such as IQ and strength.

Lopsided result.
