I am not saying every center needs to be big. What I am saying is that you need at least one bigger center with 2 way ability to make it through the playoffs and realistically compete for the cup. It has been since Datsyuk since a team without one has won the cup... almost a decade ago and Datsyuks are rare.
Not that I disagree with your point, because I would love a big, responsible two-way centre (legit two way, not this fake we call Soderberg), but since Datsyuk only 4 different teams have won the Stanley Cup, and one of those teams had two of the best players of their generation on it.
I think I'd rather wait for the next 5+ cups to be won, and look at the trend from Datsyuk onward instead of looking at it right now due to the sheer dominance of teams like Chicago, L.A., and Pittsburgh
