Centers that were mainly goalscorers rather than playmakers

[mrhockey193195]

Some that come to mind from the 90s & 00s:

Lecavalier
Lindros (not that he wasn't a great passer, I just always thought of him as a goal scorer)
Modano (ditto)
Nieuwendyk
Primeau
Arnott

Mats Sundin when he played with Djurgården was mainly a goal scorer, although the sample size is quite small. I also have no idea if he played center or winger as an 18–19 year old in 89/90 but he had 7 goals and 0 assists in 8 games that years playoffs.

During the 94/95 lockout stint he had 7 goals and 2 assists in 12 games with his home town club.

Rick MacLeish. Pretty close G/A ratio in the regular season. Actually, more goals than assists in the playoffs.

I know hockey reference lists Camille Henry as a C but I remember him more as a LW. He did make an AS team as a LW.
